Count Files and Folders using Python

This Python script counts the number of files and directories within a specified path using the os module. Here's a breakdown of the code:

Code Breakdown

1. Importing the os Module

import os

• The os module provides functions for interacting with the operating system, such as navigating directories and manipulating file paths.

2. Specifying the Path

PATH = r'C:\Users\IRAWEN\Downloads\1050'

• PATH is the directory path where the script will search.
• The r before the string indicates it is a raw string, meaning backslashes (\) are treated literally (not as escape characters).

3. Initializing Counters

files, dirs = 0, 0

• files will store the count of files.
• dirs will store the count of directories.

4. Iterating Through the Directory Structure

for root, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(PATH):
    print('Looking in:', root)
    dirs += len(dirnames)
    files += len(filenames)

• os.walk(PATH):
• Traverses the directory tree starting…
