Help with script

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hello everyone,

Im a java student but I'm experimenting with Fedora so I would appreciate if someone can help me out.

I'm trying to write a script in Fedora that reads a number from the user that represents a number of cents. The script will then display the number of quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies that it equals (like you are making change).

Thank you in advance for your help!

so how far did you reached?...

you can use the following commands

echo - for displaying messages into the screen
read - for reading values input by user

  • + - / => for calculation

now give it a try

Something to get you started

#!/bin/ksh

echo "Enter the radius : \c"
read radius
((area=3.14*radius*radius))
echo "Area : $area"
