(BASH)
Let us say a test is conducted to assess the typing speed for applicants. We need to count # of correctly spelled words and penalize for incorrectly spelled words.
score = (# of correctly spelled words) - 2 * (# of incorrectly spelled words)
Assuming filename is words.txt, write a one-line command to compute the score.
Hint: use expr, wc, cat & spell commands. spell command outputs all incorrectly spelled
words.
