+  ls --count will count number of directories, files and symlinks
+  of current directory user present. and --count-list will print the
+  count and also print containing items details - like name, size,
+  permissions, modified datetime, and its type. With --count, you get
+  everything in one place: directories, files, links, and the table,
+  without needing to chain commands like ls | wc. It’s simpler, more reliable,
+  and avoids issues with pipes or parsing output. And --count-list can
+  give a detailed table of contained elements with type wise count and 
+  all within the ls , just using options flag , no need extra pipeline/
+  complex command for this simple and frequently required output
