15.After experimenting with vi as your command line editor, you decide that you want to have vi your default editor every time you log in. What would be the appropriate way to do this?

Change the /etc/inputrc file
Change the /etc/profile file
Change the ~/.inputrc file
Change the ~/.profile file

Explanation: The .inputrc file is used to control your shell. You can set keystrokes to perform specified functions with this file. Another setting that can be changed is the command line editor. If you want this setting to only affect you, you edit the file in your home directory (~/ signifies your home directory).
