How to take input in beginning of the program?

I am making a program which needs the user input in the beginning of the program if you don't get my question i will give you an example:

./script.sh "some-input"

So, I want the input in the beginning of the program. I think the input will be stored in a variable. If yes, Then please tell me in which variable it is stored. I am a Linux rookie please never hesitate to correct the question. Thank you!
