To compare two numbers in a shell script, you can use conditional expressions with the [ or test command. For example, you can use -eq for equality, -ne for inequality, -lt for less than, -le for less than or equal to, -gt for greater than, and -ge for greater than or equal to. Here’s a simple example:
if [ "$num1" -eq "$num2" ]; then
echo "Numbers are equal."
else
echo "Numbers are not equal."
fi
Make sure to use spaces around the brackets and the operators.

Define the purpose for writing shell scripts as a superuser?
I presume you mean writing shell scripts that operate under the super user account - scripts are written for any reason to help automate tasks and make them much less error prone than issuing commands as a user. Running as the superuser merely means that the commands in the shell script require superuser priviledge to execute.

When might it be necessary or advisable to write a shell script instead of a shell function?
A shell function will do nothing unless it is explicitly called by other code, typically in a shell script. A shell script is a runnable, executable process, which can call other shell scripts and/or functions. The question might be worded backwards - it is necessary to write shell functions for shell scripts when certain logical functionality is required to be performed multiple times. Consider a shell function equivalent to a program subroutine - they operate the same way.

What are different types of shell variable?
In shell scripting, there are several types of variables: Environment Variables: These are global variables available to all processes and typically define system-wide settings (e.g., PATH, HOME). Shell Variables: These are local to the shell instance and can be used within scripts or interactive sessions (e.g., myvar="Hello"). Special Variables: These are predefined variables that hold specific information, such as $? (exit status of the last command) or $$ (process ID of the current shell). These variable types help manage data and control the behavior of shell scripts effectively.
