1 Practice TestsIndex

Each Midterm Test and Final Exam will have an associated set of unmarked practice questions, with answers, and a set of marked quizzes based on those practice questions.

Practice questions are samples only. The actual questions on the Midterms and Final Exam are usually different. There may be a few new question types on the tests and exams that don’t appear in the practice tests.

The tests use the semicolon ; to separate multiple commands on the same line, to save space and paper, e.g. three separate commands can be written on one line like this (the dollar sign is the optional shell prompt; do not type it):
$ date ; who ; ls
$ echo "hi" ; wc /etc/passwd ; rm file
Do not use semicolons as an interactive human user! Type each command on its own line with the [Enter] key.
