STEP 4: DECLARE ANOTHER VARIABLE (LET’S SAY ‘TOTAL’ WHICH SHOULD BE INITIALIZED WITH ZERO ) WHICH WILL HELP US TO ADD UP TO DIGIT

STEP 5: PERFORM WHILE LOOP FROM 1 TO ‘DIGIT’

STEP 6: WRITE THIS LINE INSIDE THE WHILE LOOP -> total=`expr $ total + $temp`

STEP 7: WHILE PERFORMING LOOP, EVERYTIME INCREASE ‘DIGIT=$DIGIT+1’

STEP 8: AT LAST PRINT ‘TOTAL’

STEP 9: STOP THE PROGRAM

while test $t -le $digit
do
        total=`expr $total + $t`
        t=`expr $t + 1`
