On representing strings. Computer Science MATHEMATICS: S = set of strings of the form bxbybzbsbt where b is the symbol b, x is an element of the set {a,e,i,o,u), y is an element of the set {a,e,i,o,u), z is an element of the set {a,e,i,o,u), s is an element of the set {a,e,i,o,u), and t is an element of the set {a,e,i,o,u) = {bababababa, bababababe, ..., babebibobu, ... , bububububu} UNIX Because ? is a wildcard notation for a single valid character, assuming that a,e,i,o,u are the only valid characters: S =b?b?b?b?b?= {bababababa, bababababe, ..., babebibobu, ... , bububububu} T = b??b??b??b??b??={baabaabaabaabaa, ..., beebeebeebeebee, ... baebeibeebiebie, ...buubuubuubuubuu} Because * is a wildcard notation for a sequence zero or more valid characters , assuming that a,e,i,o,u are the only valid character: b* ={b, ba, baa, baaa, baaaa, ...., bieieie, buuuuuuuuuu}

Review Notes: 1. Bash does not suggest negativity if you are from the Computer Science community. Bash is a keyword in the field of Operating Systems. It comes from "Bourne Again SHell". 2. MAN is also a keyword in Operating Systems. You will never get lost with a MAN because MAN means MANual. 3. In the filed of Operating Systems, The pound is more powerful than the dollar. The dollar sign $ is for any ordinary user. The pound sign # is for the administrator. 4. who u make sense when u is preceded by -. (Hence, who -u) But wait! Little Knowledge is Dangerous.

"If only you grew taller, you are perfect!" --> When I was rushing to go to work when I was then a young professional, an on-looker stopped me just to say such as I was passing by.
