🛠 Setup & Execution

1. Make sure the scripts are executable:

   chmod +x AQ*.sh

Run a script:

bash Copy code ./AQ1.sh

or

bash AQ1.sh [parameters] If a script reads from a data file, put or reference the file in same folder (e.g. data.txt, hello.txt).

📂 Data Files & Inputs data.txt — contains sample data used by some scripts

hello.txt — another sample input

emptyfile — empty placeholder

ℹ️ Notes & Tips All scripts are written in Bash.

Use #!/bin/bash (shebang) at the top of each script to ensure correct interpreter.

Add comments inside each script for clarity (what each section does).

Use redirection (>, >>) if scripts output to files.

Handle error cases (file not found, invalid inputs) gracefully.

✅ How to Contribute / Extend You can add more scripts named AQ9.sh, etc.

If scripts depend on new data files, place them in the repo root or a subfolder (e.g. data/).

Update this README with new entries in the “Scripts Overview” table.

📜 License / Attribution (If required, add license, your name, date, etc.)

Feel free to copy-paste this into your README.md, then fill in the Description and Usage parts by opening each .sh script and reading what it does.

If you like, I can also generate the exact README for your repo (with descriptions of each script) by me reviewing the code in .sh files. Do you want me to do that?# shell-script-assignment
