===Multiple Commands Using Semicolon, Grouping, and Backquotes===
Besides piping, there are other ways that multiple commands may be placed in one line:<br>commands may be separated by '''semi-colons'''.<br>
Multiple commands can also be '''grouped ''' by using parentheses.
Commands may also be '''split over multiple lines''', making it easier (for humans) to interpret a long command.You can add a '''quote ''' or '''"escape" the newline character ''' at the end of a line, to get rid of the special meaning<br>of newline (to end a command line)
