Question 1: Create a directory in your home directory called projects. In the projects
directory, create nine empty files that are named house1, house2, house3, and
so on to house9. Assuming there are lots of other files in that directory, come up
with a single argument to ls that would list just those nine files.

Answer: $ mkdir $HOME/projects/


$ touch $HOME/projects/house{1..9}
$ ls $HOME/projects/house{1..9}

Question 2: Make the $HOME/projects/houses/doors/ directory path. Create the following


empty files within this directory path (try using absolute and relative paths from
your home directory):
$HOME/projects/houses/bungalow.txt
$HOME/projects/houses/doors/bifold.txt
$HOME/projects/outdoors/vegetation/landscape.txt

Answer: $ cd
$ mkdir projects/houses
$ touch $HOME/projects/houses/bungalow.txt
$ mkdir $HOME/projects/houses/doors/
$ touch $HOME/projects/houses/doors/bifold.txt
