Need help in manupulating string

susant.igate · March 26, 2009, 10:13am

Hi,
I am new to Unix.I got an assignment as follows.

Wanted to know the procedure to convert a string 12345 to 1234E and 21342 to 2134B and so on. I mean to say the last digit should be converted to the corresponding alphabet.

Thank you in advance.

Regards
Susant

Not going to do your homework for you, but think of arrays.
