So in my code, I have a variable that keeps track of the total byte count so far, and you can see that I've imported the OS module 'cause I'm going to be using that. Then I have a variable that contains the name of the depths directory. Now I need to get a list of all of the contents of the directory, the steps directory right here. And what I'm going to do is use the listdir function, which is contained within the OS module, which is part of the standard library. And that will give me a list of file names. And those file names are just names. They don't have the directory path in them. So next I have a loop which iterates over each one of the file names in the list that I get back from the…
