Complete Modern C++ - Filesystem - directory_entry

The video tutorial explains how to iterate over directory contents using iterators and range-based for loops. It covers creating directory iterators, displaying file information, and sorting directory entries. The tutorial also discusses using enums to determine file types and demonstrates the use of directory entry functions and global functions from the File System Library.

What is the primary purpose of using a directory iterator?

• To modify file contents

• To access and display directory contents

• To delete files

• To create new directories

What does the directory entry contain?

• The number of files in the directory

• Information about each file

• The creation date of the directory

• The size of the directory

Why is a range-based for loop preferred over a while loop for directory iteration?

• It allows for faster execution

• It is more concise and less error-prone

• It is compatible with all file systems

• It uses less memory

Which method is used to determine the type of a file?

• checkType()

• status() followed by type()

• getType()

• fileType()

What is the role of the enum type in file handling?

• To list all files in a directory

• To delete files

• To represent different types of files

• To store file sizes

What is the purpose of using the partition algorithm in directory handling?

• To delete unwanted files

• To create new directories

• To rename files

• To move directories to the beginning of the list

Which of the following is NOT a function provided by the File System Library?

• isFIFO()

• isCharacterFile()

• isTextFile()

• isBlockFile()
