I thought this lab was really cool. From Unit 1 it felt different because I was working with using commands such as cat and using the straight line which was totally different from before. The codes from Unit 1 compared to Unit 2 look completely different and more intimadating. In terms of learning, this kind of thinking felt fimiliar becuase I took computing courses that lookk familiar. The way I used terminal felt so different compared to Unit 1 because for Unit 1 it seemed to be more straight torward whereas so far in Unit 2 it has all these other commands seperated with the '|' symbol. Working on this lab made me realize how cool it was to use code to find specific words with specific requirments rather than looking one at a time. I got stuck on the last 3 problems of the exercise and what I did to get unstuck is I messaged one of the students and asked for help. I have just now started getting help from my peers because I have some in my in-person classes so it makes it easier to comunication about the lessons.

Exercises
Answer the following questions (or at least as many as you can figure out) in this document. For all the questions, use the 100k words. Give your answer for each exercise, and show the command you used to get it. Each question can be answered using a single Terminal command, though you might need to use a number of pipes.
If you want to be really stylish, put your code inside of backticks like this:
cat words_100k.txt | length | put 10 | equal | count
