Use a script to take two numbers as arguments and output their sum using (i) bc (ii) expr. include error – checking to test whether two arguments were entered?

If I understand correctly your question, You want to pass 2 parameters to shell script and print the sum of those. Also, you want to throw error if the number of parametrs are less than 2.
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
echo "Usage: $0 arg1 arg2"
exit
fi
echo "\$1=$1"
echo "\$2=$2"
let add=$1+$2
let sub=$1-$2
echo -e "Addition=$add\nSubtraction=$sub\n"
Hope this helps…
