Total number of files and directories

Hi,

I want to determine the total number of files and folders in the given
directory.
I have a solution to go recursively on each folder and make a count . But I
do not want to go recursively as it may reduce the performance.

Is there any direct function or property to detmine the numbers.

Nop and yes, you could avoid the recursion but you will still would have to
"visit" each directory no matter what. You would just convert the recursion
to an iterative method.

Hi all ya unit-testing experts there :) Code I'm working on has to parse large and complex files and detect equally complex and large amount of errors before the contents of the file is fed to module interpreting it. First I created a unit-test class named TestLoad which loaded, say, 40 files of which about 10 are correct and other 30 files contained over 20 different types of errors. Different methods on the TestLoad class were coded so...

hi all, i need to write a program - cash register for dummies, so to speak. here's the gist - enter the amount of pies that a person wants to get. A person can get either, 1, 2, 3, or 4 pizza pies.
