Scripting with Parameters

Remarks

shift shifts the positional parameters to the left so that $2 becomes $1, $3 becomes $2 and so forth.
"$@" is an array of all the positional parameters passed to the script/function.
"$*" is an string composed of all the positional parameters passed to the script/function.
