Create some sample files

[Hjordten]

The following snippet will run in a linux terminal.

You can copy it, paste into the terminal of the CodeSpace - and it will run. You may have to hit <ENTER> to execute the very last command too.

But Before you actually run it - try to guess (make your notes in the comments)

• [x] What will happen when you run it?

• [x] Will it actually work as it is - or do you need to correct anything?

• [x] What programming language is this?

  mkdir samples
  mkdir samples/animals
  mkdir samples/animals/countries
  mkdir samples/animals/countries/movies
  
  ANIMALS=('Apes' 'Elephants' 'Elephant babies' 'Monkies' 'apes')
  COUNTRIES=('Denmark' 'Sweden' 'USA' 'France' 'Italy' '.apes' 'North Korea')
  MOVIES=('Batman' 'Sex And The City' 'JFK' 'Poltergeist' 'Germany')
  
  cd samples/animals 
  for id in ${ANIMALS[@]}
  do
  echo $id >> $id.txt
  done
  
  cd countries
  for id in ${COUNTRIES[@]}
  do
  echo $id >> $id.txt
  done
  
  cd movies
  for id in ${MOVIES[@]}
  do
  echo $id >> $id.txt
  done
  

• [x] Did it actually work as expected - comment on this in the issue.
