I figure he either ment Delineated or Delimited (in this case delimited by a
SPACE)
And personally, I would have done it:
list='1 5 7 22'
for value in ${list}
do
echo ${value}
done
Then, at some time in the future, you can replace the setting of 'list' with
anything from
a call to a function of some type or even a call to a database.

It is a stupid way to set multiple variables from a deliminated list.
Smart way would be this:
$ let A=2; $ let B=3 $ let C=$A*$B $ echo $C
