File Name: [Link]

Instructions:
1. Create a script that:
- Asks the user for a folder name
- Creates the folder
- Navigates into it
- Creates three text files
- Displays the list of created files
2. Use commands: mkdir, cd, touch, ls, echo.

Code:-

Part C – Simple Arithmetic Operations (4 Marks)


Assignment 3 – Shell Scripts Using Simple Commands

File Name: [Link]

Instructions:
1. Create a script that:
- Asks the user to enter two numbers
- Performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
- Displays the results clearly
2. Use read, expr, or $(( )) for arithmetic operations.

Code:-

echo –n “Enter first number:”

read num1

echo –n “Enter first number:”

read num1

add=$((num1 + num2))

sub=$((num1 - num2))

mul=$((num1 * num2))

div=$((num1 / num2))

echo “ Addition: $add”

echo “ Subtraction: $sub”

echo “ Multiplication: $mul”

echo “ Division: $div”

Conclusion:
Assignment 3 – Shell Scripts Using Simple Commands

In this practical, I successfully created and executed three shell scripts


demonstrating the use of basic Linux commands and scripting techniques.

 Part A :- Displayed system and user information using commands like


whoami, date, pwd, and ls, helping to understand how to retrieve basic
system details.
 Part B:- Focused on file and directory operations using commands such as
mkdir, cd, touch, and ls, enhancing understanding of file management in
Linux.
 Part C:- Implemented simple arithmetic operations using shell scripting and
arithmetic expressions, showcasing how user input and basic calculations can
be handled efficiently.
