 Type :w and press Enter.

ii) Write the command to insert text at the end of line.

 Move the cursor to the line where you want to insert text using the arrow keys or
other navigation commands.
 Press A (uppercase 'A'). This will place the cursor at the end of the current line
in insert mode.
 Now, you can start typing the text you want to insert at the end of the line.
iii) Replace some character into beginning of second line.
 Move the cursor to the first character of the second line using the arrow keys or
other navigation commands.
 Press Shift + I (uppercase 'I'). This will place the cursor in insert mode at
the beginning of the current line.
 Now, you can start typing the characters you want to insert at the beginning of
the second line.
iv) Write a command to delete 10 lines at a time.

XII. Practical Related Questions:
1. What is the difference between Type o and Type O?
 o: The o command is used to open a new line below the current line. When you are
in command mode, if you press o, Vim will create a new line below the line where
your cursor is, and you'll be in insert mode on the newly created line. This is useful
when you want to insert text below the current line.
 O: The O command, on the other hand, is used to open a new line above the current
line. When you press O in command mode, Vim will create a new line above the
line where your cursor is, and you'll be in insert mode on the newly created line.
This is handy when you want to insert text above the current line.
