The winningest team in 2016 was stored in a bash variable called $WinTeam. A series of awk commands were used to determine the total number of runs scored by the team stored in the $WinTeam variable by filtering the GL2016.TXT file and summing the runs columns. The total number of runs scored by the winningest team in 2016 was 808.

1. 15: How can I use GNU coreutils
& other command line tools to
determine the total number of
runs the winningest team
scored in 2016?

2. On your vagrant machine execute the following to
discover the winningest team and store it as a
bash variable (WinTeam):
• WinTeam=$(awk -F, '{if($10>$11) print $4; else if ($11>$10) print $7;}' GL2016.TXT
| awk -F, '{a[$1]++;} END{for (i in a) print i, a[i];}'| sort -nrk2 | head -1 | cut -d' ' -
f1)

3. Execute the following command to ensure
that the variable has stored :
• echo $WinTeam

4. Once we ensure that our Bash Variable is stored,
we can execute the following analysis to retrieve
the total number of runs for the Winningest Team:
• awk –F, -v WinTeam=$WinTeam‘{If($7==WinTeam) print $11; else if
($4==WinTeam) print $10}’ GL2016.TXT | paste –sd+ | bc

5. The Winningest Team has scored a total of
808 runs in the 2016 Season.
