Answer 1

Below is the script code as per mentioned question:

echo $PWD
echo Details of directory items :
echo
for file in $(ls $dir)
do
[ -f $file ] && echo "$file is file"
[ -d $file ] && echo "$file is directory"
done

go to that directory using on terminal $ cd Desktop/  

Run the script code by using /Desktop$ sh first.sh
