Easy#195
LeetCode Problem

Tenth Line

Problem Statement

Print only the tenth line of file.txt. Earlier and later lines must not be printed. If fewer than ten lines exist, print nothing. Practice approach: Use a line-number-aware tool, for example sed with automatic output disabled and an explicit print for line ten, or awk selecting NR == 10. A head/tail pipeline needs care: on a short file it can accidentally print the last available line. Include both a file longer than ten lines and a short file when checking the command.
