[bash] Check number of arguments passed to a Bash script

Check out this bash cheatsheet, it can help alot.

To check the length of arguments passed in, you use "$#"

To use the array of arguments passed in, you use "$@"

An example of checking the length, and iterating would be:

myFunc() {
  if [[ "$#" -gt 0 ]]; then
    for arg in "$@"; do
      echo $arg
    done
  fi
}

myFunc "$@"

This articled helped me, but was missing a few things for me and my situation. Hopefully this helps someone.
