Need to pass two arrays to a BASH script.

eg: sample.sh is the script which does some processing and which accepts 2 arrays. Could we call sample.sh as

sample.sh "a b c d" "1 2 3 4"

Question : How to read the input arguments onto two separate arrays inside sample.sh script.

thanks in advance.

Code:

array1=( $1 )
array2=( $2 )
