Hallo: a few questions about the spec, please.
...1) You said in class that all functions should
operate on the root directory, but your sample
output suggests that it is working on the current
directory instead. I would also be very surprised
if the TA's wanted to look through the entire file
structure of my hard drive to grade my output file.
Can we have searches and tree visualizations begin
at the CWD instead of the root?
...2) It took most of the day to figure out exactly
what your code was doing, but I still am confused on
one point: In your output file listing, what do the
trailing tildes represent after filenames? Is that
a UNIX flag?
...3) If adding a creative feature costs efficiency,
will we be downgraded or upgraded?
...4) Did you say that non-recursive work is okay,
even when recursion would be the obvious solution?
Thanks-
