cp $sourc $destin

(Please send me screenshot of whole script)
Start with in-class Problem #1. Complete the script to copy a file. In addition to prompting for the
file name, as a last step, allow the user of your script to be able to put the source file as parameter
1 and the destination file as parameter 2 on the command line. Post the completed bash script
here so that I can test it..
