→Part 1: Creating Directories
# Issue the following Linux command to create the directories called '''notes''', '''tutorials''' and '''examples''' (can wrap over one line):<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">mkdir notes tutorials examples</span><br><br>
# Issue a Linux command to confirm that those directories have been created<br>(you should already know how to do this).<br><br>
#This technique is considered to be '''inefficient'''. There are options and ways to create the <br>same directory structure without using the cd command and only issue a single Linux command.<br><br>Using this inefficient method tends to show that you are a novice or "'''newbie'''", and you may '''lose marks''' if you issue multiple Linux commands to performed tasks that can be performed using only a single Linux command.<br><br>Although we will teach you how to '''remove''' directories and their contents in a future section, let's change back to your '''home''' directory and issue a command to '''remove the directory structure''' that you just created so you can learn a more efficient method of creating the same directory structure.<br><br>
# Issue Linux commands to move to your home directory and confirm that your current directory is your home directory<br>(You should know how to do this).<br><br>
# Issue the following Linux command to return to your home directory: <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">cd</span><br><br>
