Display all the lines in unixPasswd that contain at least 10 consecutive lowercase letters. How many names are there in total that meets this criteria?

Answer and Explanation:

To display 10 consecutive lower case letters in Unix, we make use of the commands below. The first command finds the letters in the file and the second command counts them line by line.

$ grep '[a-z]\{10,\}' /unixPasswd/passwd

# this command displays lines with at least 10 consecutive lowercase letters or more than 10 consecutive lowercase letters

$ grep '[a-z]\{10,\}' /unixPasswd/passwd | wc -l

# this command counts the number of lines that has at least 10 consecutive lower case letters or more than 10 consecutive lowercase letters

Note: the unixPasswd is a file in passwd file. The # is used when we want to add comments, is optional here. The $ is a prompt on the terminal that begins a new command.

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
