I'm trying to write a script in Linux that allows the user to input 1 number, then a second number and outputs the addition of the two numbers!

The inputing of the numbers is fine but i cant seem to get them to be added...

Any help would be appreciated...

What langauge do you want the script in? If Perl will do...

#!/usr/bin/perl
$a = <>;
$b = <>;
chop $a;
chop $b;
print $a + $b . "\n";

for(74,117,115,116){$::a.=chr};(($_.='qwertyui')&&
(tr/yuiqwert/her anot/))for($::b);for($::c){$_.=$^X;
/(p.{2}l)/;$_=$1}$::b=~/(..)$/;print("$::a$::b $::c hack$1.");

I dont know the language we're surposed to be scripting in but the first line should be

#!/bin/sh

This is called shell scripting.

There are a couple of ways to do this. Use which ever one you like:

#!/bin/sh

echo "enter two numbers"
read a b

c=$(($a+$b))
echo "$a + $b = $c"

# or

let c="$a+$b"
echo "$a + $b is $c"
