What does the . after the word find mean
files to be found are "a.out" and "core"
the -o is an "OR" statment.
if the files are found then they are deleted with the rm command.
any file that are not found are not deleted.
the . means start searching from current directory
why would you need this line of script??
a.out is what you get if you comple code.
core is what you get when your code bombs.
I assume the someone wants to clean up after writing code.
