In programming, we often need to create data that is not needed after the program exits. Temporary files and directories are useful for this purpose since they do not pollute the file system over time.
In this challenge, you need to create temporary files and directories in Go.
os.CreateTemp
to create a temporary file.os.MkdirTemp
to create a temporary directory.os.RemoveAll
to remove the temporary directory.os.WriteFile
to write data to a file.$ go run temporary-files-and-directories.go
Temp file name: /tmp/sample610887201
Temp dir name: /tmp/sampledir898854668
In this challenge, you learned how to create temporary files and directories in Go using os.CreateTemp
, os.MkdirTemp
, os.RemoveAll
, and os.WriteFile
. Temporary files and directories are useful for creating data that is not needed after the program exits and do not pollute the file system over time.
