Explanation / Answer

1) cp testfile1.txt MyTestFiles/testfile1b.txt :

ls -F will list all the files in the current working directory.

As per your image, the PWD is currently holding a directory FinalProject/ and 3 files named: myscript, testfile2.txt, testfile.txt.

Now, cp command will usually take 2 arguments, cp src tgt, will make a copy of src filename, and the copy will be named as specified by tgt.

In the middle you successfully, executed a few commands:

cp testfile.txt testfile1.txt.

After executing this command, now the PWD will hold a directory FinalProject/ and 4 files named: myscript, testfile2.txt, testfile.txt, and testfile1.txt. Ofcourse, testfile.txt, and testfile1.txt are duplicates to each other, and heir contents will be same, unless changed.

mkdir MyTestFiles.

After executing this command, a new directory will be created in the PWD. Therfore, the PWD will now hold, 2 directories, FinalProject/ , MyTestFiles/ and 4 files named: myscript, testfile2.txt, testfile.txt, and testfile1.txt.

And finally, as per your command, cp testfile1.txt MyTestFiles/testfile1b.txt, will make a copy of testfile1.txt in the directory MyTestFiles, and will be named as testfile1b.txt. Note that this new file will be placed inside the directory MyTestFiles. Therefore, the ls command will not display this file. with a simple ls -F command.

2) ls -F: This command will list the files and directory in the current working directory. Therefore it will list 2 directories FinalProject/ , MyTestFiles/ and 4 files named: myscript, testfile2.txt, testfile.txt, and testfile1.txt.

So the output will be: FinalProject/ myscript MyTestFiles/ testfile1.txt testfile2.txt testfile.txt.

This is what is shown on the last line.
