This was my first time writing a shell script. To start the script off, I created a .sh file using VI editor and inserted #!/bin/bash in the first line. After that, I was able to plug in statements and variables as if I were writing code for Python.

As I had taken a Python course the previous semester, I did not have any problems with this lab. I did learn how to create a script as well as run it. It is a useful skill when you need to automate tedious or simple tasks.
