### Overview
The `os.mkdir()` method is used to create a directory with a numeric permission mode. The default mode is `0777` (octal).
If the directory has multiple levels, only the last level is created. If the parent directory of the last level does not exist, an `OSError` will be raised.
### Syntax
The syntax for the `mkdir()` method is as follows:
os.mkdir(path[, mode])
### Parameters
* **path** -- The directory to be created. It can be a relative or absolute path.
* **mode** -- The numeric permission mode to set for the directory.
### Return Value
This method does not return a value.
### Example
The following example demonstrates the use of the `mkdir()` method:
## Example
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import os,sys
# Directory to be created
path ="/tmp/home/monthly/daily/hourly"
os.mkdir( path,0755)
print("Directory created")
The output of executing the above program is:
