Submitted via email by a self paced user:

I was recommended your site by a colleague in computer science, I am a scientist who wants to learn R. I just completed the unix shell (as a starting point) and it was really helpful - thank you guys so much!

However, I spotted a mistake (I tested it to make sure it was a mistake) in one of your questions in the loops section:

Solution

5 is the correct answer. * matches zero or more characters, so a file name with zero or more
characters before a letter c and zero or more characters after the letter c will be matched.

Should be

Solution

4 is the correct answer. * matches zero or more characters, so a file name with zero or more
characters before a letter c and zero or more characters after the letter c will be matched.

Therefore filenames beginning with c, ending with c or with a c in the middle are all matched, therefore cubane and octane are both matched so answer 4 is correct, not answer 5.
