This is the code snippet. Here i am seeing the badly placed ()'s error
#!/bin/sh
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# array declaration
arr= (one two three) # seeing error here
# for loop
for (( i=0;i<4;i++ ))
do
echo "\n $i : ${a[i]}"
done

It is a small error.
arr= (one two three)
should've been
arr=(one two three)
Also you can't use \n in echo. Use printf if you want to use \n.
And fixing the rest of the errors, the code looks like this.
# array declaration
arr=(one two three)
# for loop
for (( i=0;i<3;i++ ))
do
printf "\n $((i+1)) : ${arr[i]}"
done
echo ""
arr= (one two three)
Lets break down what this does.
arr=
This part assigns $arr an empty value (temporarily, since it precedes a command).
(one two three)
This part runs one in a subshell with arguments two and three, with the previously assigned value of $arr.
Did you perhaps mean to assign the three values to an array in $arr instead?
