countFiles(directory_structure).py

"""You are given a directory structure that represents a file system. Each directory is represented by a string and is followed by a list of its subdirectories. 
The file system starts with a root directory ("/") and all directories are separated by a forward slash ("/"). You need to write a 
function that takes the directory structure  as input and returns the total number of files in the file system.

Write a function countFiles(directory_structure) that takes the directory structure as a string and returns the total number of files in the file system."""
