Question

I am generating some files (simplified version)

private static void GenFiles(int numbersToGenerate, string directory)
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= numbersToGenerate; i++)
    {
        string fileName = Path.Combine(directory, "File" + i);
        File.Create(fileName);
    }
}

Now i am told “Generate 100 files and Create 10 Folders(Folder1-Folder2-Folder3 etc..)place 10 items in each folder”

Would you create all the files in a directory and then create each folder move files to folder till no file left ?

private static void MoveToFolders(string targetDirectory,int numberOfFolders, int numberOfFilesGenerated)
{
    int itemsPerFolder = numberOfFilesGenerated / numberOfFolders;
    ?????
    //
}

Suggestions?

I would say during the loop creare folder and create a file inside. Less steps to achieve your goal.
