>i tried to run it but there are lots of mistake that im not able to correct did you run that form shell? don't. 1. put this 'line' as is into some file, save it and run as [prompt]>sh yourfile it should work 2. add as a first line #!/bin/sh, then "chmod u+x yuorfile"; script is ready. Done. Tell back what you see. P.S. shell treats 'new line' simbols as one of possible delimiter of instructions. Unless you put '\' on the end! than, even if it looks like bunch of lines, shell treats it as one huge long command line.

look at this...would you be able to work out how to use the if statements to dispalay the words yes or no?
