How to clear entries in a dictionary

Its simple:

Count your typing speed in Linux

Tools

• bash shell (obvious)
• wc (Linux utility command, counts the number of words)
• cat (To get the user input)
• date +%s (time since 1970 in number of seconds elapsed)

• | (pipe to insert the output to the wc utility)

1. start=date +%s note the current time.
2. cat | wc -w (now start typing)
3. do ctrl+d to stop typing
4. stop=date +%s note the stop time.
5. calculate:(cat | wc -w)*60/(stop-stop)

We get the typing speed per minute!
(Now its obvious that these command should be in the script)
