Goal

Your script is started with some arguments after its name, like sh answer.sh "Mina Park" blue. Print how many arguments it received, then the first one, then every argument on its own line in the original order, keeping spaces inside an argument intact.

Example

Started as sh answer.sh "Mina Park" blue red, the script prints:

3
first=Mina Park
<Mina Park>
<blue>
<red>

The first line is the count. The second line is first= followed by the first argument. Each remaining line is one argument wrapped in < and >, so you can see exactly where each one starts and ends. "Mina Park" is one argument, even though it contains a space.

Rules

• Edit answer.sh. It has no input files. The test starts it with at least one argument, and the arguments change between checks.
• Print exactly these lines, in this order, using printf:
  1. the number of arguments, as a plain number
  2. first= followed directly by the first argument
  3. one line per argument, each in the form <argument>, in the order given
• Use $# for the count, $1 for the first argument, and "$@" for the full list.
• Put double quotes around "$@" and "$1". Without quotes, an argument with spaces is split into pieces, and an argument like * is replaced by file names.
• printf repeats its format once for each value it is given, so one printf '<%s>\n' "$@" is enough for the last part.
• Do not type the example values into the script. The test uses different arguments.
• Do not print anything else, not even a blank line.

What you'll practice

$#, $1, "$@", quoting, and printf with %s.

Hints

1. Three things to print: how many arguments there are ($#), the first one ($1), and every one separately ("$@").
2. printf reuses its format for every extra value it is given, so printf '<%s>\n' "$@" prints one <...> line per argument. Keep the double quotes around $@ so an argument with spaces stays in one piece.
3. Line 1: printf '%s\n' "$#". Line 2: printf 'first=%s\n' "$1". Line 3: printf '<%s>\n' "$@".
