FYI, that is a BACKSLASH = \
it is a backsplash https://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=169504&seqNum=10#:~:text=If%20you%20want%20to%20break,continuation%20of%20the%20previous%20line.
yes it's a BACKSLASH, when copy to notepad it looks like \
Just verified.. It 100% a backslash (\)
the correct answer is backslash \......why would you use pipe to seperate?
\ backslash
it looks like a separator = |
The answer is backslash. \
It's a Backslash "\". "The backslash (\) is an escape character that instructs the shell not to interpret the next character. If the next character is a newline, the shell will read the statement as not having reached its end. This allows a statement to span multiple lines." https://www.baeldung.com/linux/run-multi-line-shell-code
the is a pipe | command. It is misleading, but is a pipe.
on the test, does it require just the symbol or the actual name of the symbol?
answer is: |
The answer is "Pipe Symbol" which looks like this ( | ) and is located nest the enter key.
so its not ";" ???
so is it a backslash "/" or a pipe "|" ?
meant is it a backslash "\" or pipe "|" ?
It is a backlash which interpretes the next line after the \ as if it has not reached the end of the line
