## set-env-vars ### Instructions Create a script `set-env-vars.sh`, which will allow you to set the following variables as environment variables and and print them all: - `MY_MESSAGE` which contains the string `"Hello World"`. - `MY_NUM` which contains the number `100`. - `MY_PI` which contains the number `3.142`. Expected output: ```console $ printenv # The env variables present are just an example, yours will be different.

For instance, to set the value of the "LANG" variable to "he_IL.UTF-8", we use the following command: ```console $ LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 ``` If we use an assignment expression for a variable that doesn't exist, the shell will create a shell variable, which is similar to an environment variable but does not influence the behaviour of other applications. A shell variable can be exported to become an environment variable with the export command. To create the "EDITOR" environment variable and assign the value "nano" to it, you can do: ```console $ EDITOR=nano $export EDITOR ``` > You have to use Man or Google to know more about commands flags, in order to solve this exercise! > Google and Man will be your friends!
