You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
In this task, the job is to delete a file called "input.txt" and delete a directory called "docs". This should be done twice: once "here", i.e. in the current working directory and once in the filesystem root.
Java
import java.util.File; public class FileDeleteTest { public static boolean deleteFile(String filename) { boolean exists = new File(filename).delete(); return exists; } public static void test(String type, String filename) { System.out.println("The following " + type + " called " + filename + (deleteFile(filename) ? " was deleted." : " could not be deleted.") ); } public static void main(String args[]) { test("file", "input.txt"); test("file", File.seperator + "input.txt"); test("directory", "docs"); test("directory", File.seperator + "docs" + File.seperator); } }
Perl
sub deleteFile($) { my ($filename) = @_; return unlink($filename); } sub deleteDir($) { my ($filename) = @_; return rmdir($filename); } sub test($$) { my ($type, $filename) = @_; # Safety check: # unlink directory is DANGEROUS and unsupported unless root and -U. # See: http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/unlink.html if ($type eq "file" && -d $filename) { $type = "directory"; } # my $b = ($type eq "file") ? deleteFile($filename) : deleteDir($filename); print "The following " . $type . " called " . $filename . ($b ? " was deleted." : " could not be deleted."); } test("file", "input.txt"); test("file", $FileSeperator . "input.txt"); test("directory", "docs"); test("directory", $FileSeperator . "docs" . $FileSeperator);
# Short version unlink("input.txt"); unlink($FileSeperator . "input.txt"); rmdir("docs"); rmdir($FileSeperator . "docs" . $FileSeperator);
