Problem with assignment [closed]
I can only use 3 commands to make 8 directories and a answer file.I used the first command to create a answer file. The second command I used to create 2 of the directories. I've run out of commands to use and still have to do 6 directories. Is there a specific command that allows you to create multiple directories in one step.

You question is vague. What is an answer file? Why 8 directories? Why 3 commands? I suggest you to spend more time on composing your question than people posting answers to it.
