Hi
"In continuation to above answer.
If you want to write a script in more generic way.
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo "$0: numbers are not given" >&2
exit 1
fi
LARGEST=$(echo $* | xargs -n1 | sort -nr | tail -1)
echo "$LARGEST is largest number""
The above script is good but there is a small msitake. As
numeric sort is used in reverse order so the biggest number
will come first, so we should use head -1 rather than tail -
