Write a recursive function, displayFiles, that expects a pathname as an argument. The path name can be either the name of a file or the name of a directory. If the pathname refers to a file, its filepath is displayed, followed by its contents, like so:
File name: file_path Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit…
Otherwise, if the pathname refers to a directory, the function is applied to each name in the directory, like so:
Directory name: directory_path File name: file_path1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet… File name: file_path2 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet… …
# Put your code here
import os #module used to interact with operating system
def displayFiles(pathname): #recursive function that takes a pathname as argument
if (os.path.isdir(pathname)): #checks if specified path (argument) is an existing directory
#for item in os.listdir(pathname):
for content in os.listdir(pathname): #gets the list of all files and directories in the directory and iterates through the items of this list of directory
newitem = os.path.join(pathname, item) #
#contents = os.path.join(pathname, content) #joins contents of path
