Grade calculation in shell script | Shell Scripting
If you are trying to learn bash scripting and want to learn arithmetic operations and arrays in bash then this example will be helpful to you.
Here we are using bash scripting to calculate average, minimum and maximum grade and its subsequent letter grade using bubble sorting. Bubble sort, sometimes referred to as sinking sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that works by repeatedly stepping through the list to be sorted, comparing each pair of adjacent items and swapping them if they are in the wrong order. The pass through the list is repeated until no swaps are needed, which indicates that the list is sorted. If you are sorting the data in Ascending order, at the end of the first pass, the “heaviest” element has move to bottom. In the second pass, the comparisons are made till the last but one position and now second largest element is placed at the last but one position. And so forth.
Below is the script written in bash:

temp=${ARRAY[$1]}
ARRAY[$1]=${ARRAY[$2]}
ARRAY[$2]=$temp
}

for((i=0;i<last;i++))
