# Save your editing changes and exit your text editor.<br><br>
# Issue the '''chmod''' command to add execute permissions for the user for the '''parameters.bash''' file.<br><br>
# Issue the following to run the '''user-variables.bash''' Bash shell script:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">./parameters.bash</span><br><br>What happened?<br><br>You shouldn't see any values for the parameters since you did NOT provide any arguments when running the shell script.<br><br>
# Issue the following to run the user-variables.bash Bash shell script with arguments:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">./parameters.bash 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8</span><br><br>What do you notice?
