What does this shell pipeline print?
printf "3\n10\n2\n" | sort | head -1- 2
- 3
- An error, because sort needs the -n option for numbers
- 10
Answer and explanation
Answer: D. 10
Explanation: Without -n, sort compares lines as text, character by character. '1' sorts before '2' and '3', so 10 comes first. sort -n would put 2 first.
