abregman 99c4e02ecf Rename exercises dir
Name it instead "topics" so it won't be
strange if some topics included "exercises" directory.

## Directories Comparison
### Objectives
1. You are given two directories as arguments and the output should be any difference between the two directories
### Solution
Suppose the name of the bash script is ```dirdiff.sh```
```
#!/bin/bash
if test $# -ne 2
then
echo -e "USAGE: ./dirdiff.sh directory1 directory2"
exit 1
fi
# check for the checksums.
# If both the checksums same, then both directories are same
if test `ls -1 $1 | sort | md5sum | awk -F " " '{print $1}'` == `ls -1 $2 | sort | md5sum | awk -F " " '{print $1}'`
then
echo -e "No difference between the 2 directories"
exit 0
fi
diff -q $1 $2
```
