With the help of Dr. Proctor, I reviewed and correct questions #5 and #8.
Question #9 was correct piping, but needed to use file, words_370k.txt.
I learned that the piping commands can be extensive that I thought with
question #9.
_______________________
2023.8.20

Used the pipe commands read from 1 txt file to create new txt files with
parameters and using piping input to get output from
words_100k.txt.

- Unit 2, lab_pipes was different than Unit 1, Turtle because pipes were
composed of 1 line commands to retrieve data from a file or to create
new file(s) of data.

Yes, the thinking from using Pipes is similar to inputting information
when using Searches, edits, or finds within software programs and
internet for information. Also, software dialog boxes. You input some
criteria for an output answer or result.

The pipes used connectors "|" for commands input from the data file to
produce the output, answer to the question. Turtle was overall
simplified with the line-by-line commands to create lines and shapes,
but there was a different complexity with the use of definitions, for
loops, if else statements, and imports.

- Using the Terminal was not difficult because of prior experience using
Terminal within Unit 1, Terminal Adventure, lab_terminal. An idea
would be to expand the "steps" information for finding output of unique
questions. The example line isn't helpful to the more piped steps.

- Yes, I did get stuck when answering the "exercise.md" questions that
didn't have a straightforward answer to the information provided.
I tried to break it down into simplifier steps trying to answer the
bigger question. Questions #5, 8, 9. producing errors.
6 Very abstract using “lessthan 0 1 -e” for words that have 16 or more
letters.

- No, I haven't given help to my colleagues because I've been behind
everyone with the assignments. Why. I honestly became busier than
expected teaching ART116, Adobe Photoshop, six-week summer semester
undergraduate course.

- I did go frequently on Discord reading yours and my colleagues
dialog regarding the assignments. It did help me understand more about
Unit 2, lab_pipes, exercise.md.
