Pset1 Creating and Changing Directory Does Nothing

Question

For the first problem set, I attempted to create and change the directory with the following commands:

$ mkdir ~/pset1
$ cd ~/pset1
$ mkdir ~/pset1/hello
$ cd ~/pset1/hello

Despite doing these commands like the problem set suggests, it states it should change the prompt to:

~/pset1/ $

However it still appears as:

$

Also using ls doesn't show the directory or hello.c file, although typing ~/pset1, the terminal tells me that I am in the directory despite it not showing. I can't compile the file because of this. Any suggestions? I tried deleting everything on the IDE and trying again but nothing works.

Answer 1

Try just saying "mkdir pset1" instead of with the ~/. Also, once you've done "cd pset1" you don't need to say "mkdir pset1/hello", you can just say "mkdir hello". If this helps, please click the check mark.
