 Use of `NF` in awk command - Stack Overflow

Why did you post that link to an apparently unrelated question which has all wrong answers (or incomplete at best - the effect of setting `NF` is undefined behavior per POSIX and so will do different things in different awk variants and even in 1 awk variant can behave differently depending on whether you're setting it to a higher or lower than original value)?
Please always provide enough context in your posts for us to be able to understand why you're posting.
