# Run your shell script by issuing: <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">./if-3.bash</span><br><br># x<br><br>What do you notice? Try running the script several times with numbers different and equal to each other to confirm that the shell script works correctly.<br><br>It would be nice to have a separate result of the numbers are equal to each other. In order to achieve this, you can use an if-elif-else statement.<br><br>
# Use a text editor like vi or nano to create the text file called '''if-4.bash''' (eg. <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">vi if-4.bash</span>)<br><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>
