Problem while making a directory

When I was making the following directory in powershell I got an error. The directory which I was trying to make ia this-

mkdir bin NAME tests docs

The error which I got was-

*A positional parameter parameter cannot be found that holds the argument ‘NAME’ *

mkdir is the mac/Linux syntax. I’m not sure what the powershell syntax exactly but, from what the book, it looks to be some form of “new-item” instead of “mkdir”.

Thanks for help. Now it’s working

You can use mkdir in powershell, but you have to use commas (for some reason this is only on some powershell installs?) Here’s me doing that:

PS C:\Users\Zed> mkdir test1,test2,test3


    Directory: C:\Users\Zed


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
d-----       10/20/2019  12:27 PM                test1
d-----       10/20/2019  12:27 PM                test2
d-----       10/20/2019  12:27 PM                test3


PS C:\Users\Zed> rmdir test1,test2,test3
PS C:\Users\Zed>

Thank you sir for your help. Now I understood.
