'''Positional Parameters'''
A '''positional parameter ''' is a variable within a shell program; its value is set from an argument specified<br>on the command line that invokes the program.
Positional parameters are numbered and are referred to<br>with a preceding "'''$'''": '''$1''', '''$2''', '''$3''', and so on.
