What if you wanted to run rm with the -i option, so you could approve each file to be rm’ed?

Thanks Florian, you are absolutely right, rm will be executed for each file discovered by find. The curly brackets {} are replaced with the current discovered file. The semicolon ; signals the end of the arguments passed to rm The backslash \ escapes the semicolon ;

you can achieve the same result like this:
find . -name '*~' -exec rm {} \;
