# Issue the following linux command to set positional parameters in your current shell:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">set apples oranges bananas pears</span><br><br>

# Issue the following linux command:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">echo $*</span><br><br>What do you notice?<br><br>These positional parameters could be used with a for loop. To simplify things, let's create another shell script that uses '''command substitution''' and a '''for''' loop.<br><br>

# Use a text editor like vi or nano to create the text file called '''for-3.bash''' (eg. <span style="font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">vi for-3.bash</span>)<br>If you are using the nano text editor, refer to notes on text editing in a previous week in the course schedule.<br><br>
