Subject: Local vs Absolute Paths for $0
Date: Thursday, 22 Oct 2020, 18:02:03

The staff solution seems to print absolute paths for $0, while my program prints the local path used to run the executable. I wrote my program in Python and used the sys.argv list to access arguments. The behavior is shown below.

$ cd /c/cs323/Hwk3
$ ./mcBash
(1)$ $0
>> /home/classes/cs323/Hwk3/mcBash
(2)$ ^C
$ cd ~/cs323/hwk3
$ ./mcBash
(1)$ $0
>> ./mcBash
(2)$ ^C
$
