4,824 PointsWhat is the point of having the DirectoryInfo object at this point?
DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo(currentDirectory);
As I can tell this object has really done nothing this whole course. Instead of having to insert directory.FullName in the next line.
var fileName = Path.Combine(directory.FullName, "SoccerGameResults.csv");
We could have just put currentDirectory in its place instead. So what is the point of the DirectoryInfo object, or the FileInfo object? and why do we need it here?
