Homework & Coursework Questions

Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:

Create a script that displays output with a specific parameter.

For example, for a script called score
Typing score steelers would show
19 - 12
score greenbay
20 - 10
and so on.

The big question here is how to create a script that will run when using a parameter.

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:

Code:

vi score
#!/bin/ksh -p

3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

Code:

#!/bin/ksh -p
$[ if score == stellers ]
$then
$echo [ "19 - 10" ]
$fi

4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):

Arizona State University, Temoe, USA, Mazzola
Note: Without school/professor/course information, you will be banned if you post here! You must complete the entire template (not just parts of it).

And what happens when no agruments are given?

I suppose you would like to do the thing properly no?
So start testing positional parameters...
Then include exit with messages:
e.g. " expecting only one argument" or if none given "error missing argument " you can even display "usage: blablah "

Next what are those $ signs in 1rst position? (Artefact I hope...)
Then extra clue for the test you displayed: How do you show the content of a variable?...
