coding_challenge's Introduction

Coding_Challenge

The program simulates the creation of subdirectories (folders) for an OS. The input file to your program, input.dat, will contain a sequence of commands that a user might enter from a command line, and the output file file.out will contain the operating system’s responses to these commands.

Usage

"Usage: python console.py [command file] > [output file]"

Sample input

dir
mkdir sub6
mkdir sub3
mkdir sub4
dir
mkdir sub4
cd sub3
cd sub3
mkdir sub3
mkdir sub6
mkdir sub4
dir
cd sub6
dir
cd sub6
mkdir sub666
dir
up
up
dir
up

End of Directory Problem by Mike

Things I didn't get to:

Adding StdIn input
More error handling with more verbose outputs
Automated tests
Not using print for output. Wanted to write into file but didn't have time to switch.
