User-Defined Variables

name="John"
num=25
Accessing Variables:
echo "Name: $name"
echo "Number: $num"

Shell scripting supports basic arithmetic using operators like + , - , * , / , and %


Use the expr command or double parentheses (( )) for arithmetic operations

Using expr
result=$(expr 5 + 3)

Using double parentheses


result=$((5 + 3))

echo "Result: $result“


Comparison Operators:
-eq: equal to
-ne: not equal to
-lt: less than
-le: less than or equal to
-gt: greater than
-ge: greater than or equal to

Logical Operators:
&&: logical AND
||: logical OR

Example using logical operators


if [ $a -lt $b ] && [ $a -gt 5 ]; then
echo "$a is between 5 and $b"
fi
Number is even or odd
echo "Enter a number:"
read num
if [ $((num % 2)) -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$num is even"
else
echo "$num is odd"
fi

Compare two numbers


echo "Enter two numbers:"
read a b
if [ $a -gt $b ]; then
echo "$a is greater than $b"
else
echo "$a is less than or equal to $b"
fi
Case statement

case variable in
pattern1)
# commands to execute if variable matches pattern1
;;
pattern2)
# commands to execute if variable matches pattern2
;;
*)
# commands to execute if variable doesn't match any pattern
;;
esac
echo "Enter a day (Monday, Tuesday, etc.):"
read day

case $day in
Monday)
echo "Start of the work week."
;;
Tuesday)
echo "Second day of the work week."
;;
Wednesday)
echo "Midweek."
;;
Thursday)
echo "Almost the weekend."
;;
Friday)
echo "Last day of the work week."
;;
Saturday | Sunday)
echo "It's the weekend!"
;;
*)
echo "Invalid day."
;;
esac
While loop

while [ condition ]
do
# commands to be executed repeatedly
done

Example:

count=1

while [ $count -le 5 ]


do
echo "Count is: $count"
((count++)) # Increment count by 1
done
