In a Bash shell script, you can find the number of arguments passed to a function by using the $#
special variable. The $#
variable holds the number of arguments passed to the function.
Here is an example of a simple function that prints the number of arguments passed to it:
j
find_arguments_count() {
echo "Number of arguments: $#"
}
find_arguments_count "arg1" "arg2" "arg3"
# Output: Number of arguments: 3
In this example, the function find_arguments_count
takes any number of arguments and echoes the number of arguments passed to it using the $#
variable. When the function is called with three arguments, the output is Number of arguments: 3
.
