Creating a script that adds or subtracts.

larry5757 · 12-04-2009, 02:33 AM

Hello,

I need to create a script that takes two numbers as input from the user, and then asks the user if they would like to add or subtract the two numbers (using a case statement). Then print out the result in a friendly message. I also have to make sure to let the user know if they choose an option that was not on the menu. Any help would be appreciated!

It would help if you gave us more information, i.e. what you've done so far, the language you're working in and what you're having problems with. This doesn't seem like a complicated task..

What did you learn in class? What resources are you using to help learn shell scripting? What have you tried so far?
