What's the issue in this Terminal session?

The > command directs the output of the cat command to a wc fileThe ls command needs optionsfields_of_grass.txt doesn't exist in this directory

Perfect! The > command directs the output of a command to a file, not the wc command. What we need is the | symbol.

Whoops! The > command directs the output of a command to a file, not the wc command. What we need is the | symbol.
