How can you check if a directory is empty?

Question

ICSM Computer · Answer

To check if a directory is empty, the method depends on the programming language or environment you're using. Below are examples for common environments:
In C#
bool isEmpty = !Directory.EnumerateFileSystemEntries("your_directory_path").Any();
In Python
import os
is_empty = not os.listdir("your_directory_path")
In Bash
if [ -z "$(ls -A /your/directory/path)" ]; then
    echo "Directory is empty"
else
    echo "Directory is not empty"
fi
In Java
File dir = new File("your_directory_path");
boolean isEmpty = dir.isDirectory() andand dir.list().length == 0;
In Node.js (JavaScript)
const fs = require('fs');
const isEmpty = fs.readdirSync('your_directory_path').length === 0;
Let me know your specific language or environment if you'd like a tailored example.
