The program employs fourth- xis. ymments that outline the purpose ‘been hard-wired into the program: ve been entered on the command in the next iteration of the while loop. 8.6.3 Running the Model Program 8.8 can be run from the command line as follows: gawk -€ predprey.awk -v dt-0.01 > predprey.dat » Remember that the values of the main variables are hard-wired in the code and hence the command line. Thus, the population of each species capturing the prey once in every 10 encounters (a =| every two prey that they consume (b = 0.5), Note that output from the computational ‘model is redirected to the file predprey dat in the working directory.
