The command "seq 5 3 20" generates a sequence of numbers starting from 5 and incrementing by 3 until it reaches or exceeds 20.

Here's a breakdown of what each part of the command means:

  • "seq" is the command itself, which stands for "sequence."
  • "5" is the starting number of the sequence.
  • "3" is the increment value, meaning how much each number in the sequence will increase by.
  • "20" is the end number or limit of the sequence.

So, when you run the command "seq 5 3 20," it will create a sequence with the following numbers: 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 20.
