Whoami and sudo

The whoami command prints the user you're currently logged in as. When you run a command with sudo, it runs as the root superuser instead.

Assignment

Run the "Who am I?" command to see which user you're logged in as:
```
whoami
```
Run the same command as root:
```
sudo whoami
```
You'll probably be prompted for your password. Enter it.

for Linux/Mac Users

On some Linux systems your user might not be configured for sudo access by default. If sudo whoami fails with a permission or authentication error, your account may not have superuser privileges.

for Windows/WSL Users

If you're using WSL, make sure to use the password you set for your Linux distribution, not your Windows password.

Copy and paste the output of the last command into the input box and submit your answer.
