Dr. Scripto

Once upon a time, in a distant, magical IT academy, the most talented system administrators and script masters were trained. At this academy, there was a special day that every student awaited with a mix of excitement and fear: the PowerShell exam day. The exam was conducted by the legendary, albeit slightly eccentric professor, Dr. Scripto, known for presenting the most surprising challenges to his students.

The academy’s newest generation, including the enthusiastic and humorous Tibor, was preparing for the PowerShell exam. Tibor loved humor and decided to showcase it during the exam. As he entered the exam room and saw Dr. Scripto in his usual, slightly disheveled attire, he knew this day would be special.

Dr. Scripto greeted the students and began the exam with a mysterious smile on his face. The first task was to write a simple script that lists all the files in a folder and displays their names. Tibor decided to add his own humorous twist to the task.

Here’s his script:

# File listing script with a touch of humor

Write-Host "Greetings, curious apprentice!"
Write-Host "Now, let me list the treasures of this folder:"

# Listing the contents of the folder
$files = Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -File
foreach ($file in $files) {
    Write-Host "Here you go, here's a file: $($file.Name) "
}

Write-Host "That's all the treasures in the folder. Have a nice day!"

When Tibor submitted the script, Dr. Scripto smiled and ran it instantly. The messages displayed on the screen made everyone in the room laugh. Dr. Scripto not only appreciated the humorous approach but decided to give Tibor a special task that would require even more creativity.

The next task was to write a script that randomly selects a motivational quote and displays it each time it runs. Naturally, Tibor approached this task with humor as well:

# Script filled with motivational quotes

Write-Host "Welcome back, script masters!"

# Motivational quotes
$quotes = @(
    "Don't be afraid to make mistakes; that's what debugging is for! ",
    "The best script is a tested script.",
    "Remember, PowerShell can be your best friend or your worst enemy. ",
    "A good sysadmin knows when to run a script. "
)

# Selecting a random quote
$randomQuote = Get-Random -InputObject $quotes
Write-Host "Motivational message for your day: $randomQuote"

Write-Host "Happy scripting!"

Tibor’s script was once again a huge success, and at the end of the exam, Dr. Scripto declared that not only had Tibor passed the exam, but he also awarded him a golden PowerShell wand for his exceptional creativity and humor.

Thus, Tibor not only passed the PowerShell exam but became a legend at the IT academy, and everyone remembered the day when humor and programming met in the exam room.
