Task A (Correct script (25 points) + result\/output after executing the script (25 points)-
Conditional Statement
Write a shell script using nano or vi editor (eg, vi scriptname.sh) like below, that performs
the following task:
1. Add the Shebang (#!\/bin\/bash) as the first line in your script.
2. Read a number using read function
3. Using if statement, check if the input number is greater than 10, then print the message
\u201cInput number is greater than 10\u201d.
4. If the number is not greater than 10, then print the message, \u201cInput number is not
greater than 10\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Task B (Correct script (25 points) + result\/output after executing the script (25 points) –
Shell Script to Create a new file

Reflection
This assignment gave me hands-on experience writing shell scripts reading user input and checking file types in Linux. I found it helpful to reinforce how scripts interact with the file system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
