Shell Variables

EasyShell Scripting10-20 min

The brief

Variables hold values you reuse. Assign with name=value (NO spaces around =) and read back with $name.

Write /root/scripts/greet.sh that sets two variables and prints one sentence built from them. It must output EXACTLY:

Ada likes green

Use a variable for the name (Ada) and one for the colour (green), then echo a line that references both — e.g. name=Ada; colour=green; echo "$name likes $colour". Grading runs your script and checks the exact output.

What you'll do

Assign two variables (name and colour) with no spaces around =
echo a sentence referencing both so the script prints exactly 'Ada likes green'
