How many Shells?

[achuth]

Sir,
I saw an interesting question.
1. How many shells are there in UNIX?

Is this a good question?


Answer I have
1. Cshell
2. Kshell
3. Bourne shell
4. BASH shell

Can I say exaclty 4 as the answer?

Where did you see this question exactly? Is this homework?

That sounds exactly like homework to me as well.

I suppose the correct answer would be "As many as you can install."
