Question

Using Python create a script called create_notes_drs.py. In the file, define and call a function called main that does the following:

• Creates a directory called CyberSecurity-Notes in the current working directory
• Within the CyberSecurity-Notes directory, creates 24 sub-directories (sub-folders), called Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and so on until up through Week 24
• Within each week directory, create 3 sub-directories, called Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3

Bonus Challenge: Add a conditional statement to abort the script if the directory CyberSecurity-Notes already exists.

#code

import os

def main():
    #storing main directory name
    root = 'CyberSecurity-Notes'
   
    #if directory already exists, returning from method, doing nothing
    if os.path.isdir(root):
        return
   
    #creating main directory
    os.mkdir(root)
    #looping from 1 to 24
    for week in range(1, 25):
        #creating sub directory named Week n, where n is a value between 1 and 24
        os.mkdir('{}/Week {}'.format(root, week))
        #looping from 1 to 3
        for day in range(1, 4):
            #within this sub directory, creating sub directory named Day n,
            # where n is between 1 and 3
            os.mkdir('{}/Week {}/Day {}'.format(root, week, day))

#calling main()
main()
