If you use $1 $2 $3 ..., then you at least should use a loop, by taking
care of the count of parameters, using $# which does show how much
parameters are used.

I usually use $*, it's "quasi" equal to $@, but easier to remember,
because * is also used as a wildcard for globbing. However, $* and $@ is
for ($1 $2 $3 ...), while "$@" other than "$*" expanded to "$1" "$2"
"$3" ...
