I am unable to pass the 6th step on the Python exercise, can someone help. Here is the screenshot of what I’m done so far:
Well, seeing as how this is #learn-the-command-line and not #python…
What’re the instructions for the exercise?
Here is what I’m stuck on: https://www.codecademy.com/courses/learn-the-command-line/lessons/manipulation/exercises/cp-ii?action=lesson_resume
If you examine the output about a quarter way down your screenshot we see that you are currently in the same directory as drama
, so you should not enter,
cd ../drama/biopic/
because that takes you up a level above.
cd drama/biopic/
When in doubt, just ls
to determine what directory you are in.
ok. What directory should I be in? When I put in ls, this is what comes out: node_modules package.json workspace
the top level we are concerned with is,
cd ../
bash: ../ Is a directory
This tells us we are at the top.
$ ls
action comedy drama genres.txt
Given this level, we can now navigate to,
$ cd drama/biopic/
$ ls
cleopatra.txt frida.txt lincoln.txt notorious.txt ray.txt
ok, not to be dense, I just started this 3 weeks ago. Should I physically type in:$ ls
action comedy drama genres.txt
No, don’t type the $
, that is the input prompt. I only included it so it would resemble the console. Just type ls
, and the output should look like the next line shown which is also only included so you could see the output.
cool, that worked…
I have another issue: I’m stuck on one of the command line exercises: I went through all the steps and cannot proceed to the next section. Attached is a screenshot.
Be sure to check off all sixteen steps to get the Up Next button to activate.
MTF, I’m stuck again. Before I go on thanks for your help. On Wildcards, I follow the instructions and once again, cannot move to the next step: This is the step 'm stuck on:
“Navigate to the superhero/ directory. List all files and directories in the working directory. You should see superman.txt in it.”
If you are in the action
directory,
cd superhero/
Remember to start each line with a command.
Thanks, now I’m stuck again: I’m at the nano text editor, and the editor pops up, but I cannot move to the next step:
Try `Ctrl+X’ to exit the editor, then do a hard refresh to restart the session and try again.
yes, I do that I’m still stuck
again, thanks for your help
Ok, stuck on the 2nd step, on a new exercise. Again, I does what it tells me to do, and I can not move forward to the next step
Did you write the pd
instruction in nano
, save the updates and accept the file to save?
