 This script has a function that compresses a directory (including all subdirectories and thier contents). The desired directory's path is an argument to the function. This will makes an effort to exclude the unneccesary directories from the absolute path (path starts at the argument's path). The .zip is of the same name as the directory being compressed. This mirrors the behavior of native features of all major OS's to compress files/folders from the file viewer.

 * Walk a directory tree and archive just files with certain extensions, such as .txt or .py, and nothing else
 * Walk a directory tree and archive every file except the .txt and .py ones
 * Find the folder in a directory tree that has the greatest number of files or the folder that uses the most disk space

 * Loop over each filename, using the regex to check whether it has a date

 ## Input Validation
 Add try and except statements to the previous project to detect whether the user types in a noninteger string. Normally, the int() function will raise a ValueError error if it is passed a noninteger string, as in int('puppy'). In the except clause, print a message to the user saying they must enter an integer.

 Write a program that finds all files with a given prefix, such as _spam001.txt_, _spam002.txt_, and so on, in a single folder and locates any gaps in the numbering (such as if there is a _spam001.txt_ and _spam003.txt_ but no _spam002.txt_). Have the program rename all the later files to close this gap.
 
 As an added challenge, write another program that can insert gaps into numbered files so that a new file can be added.
