What this snippet does
There is no trash can — removed files are gone, so check the path before pressing enter.
Expected output
ls: cannot access 'build': No such file or directory
Why practise typing this
Typing files & directories code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Linux uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
