// 1) Define a record type with the name FileMetaData representing the name
//    of the file and the size of it. 

// 2) Make a function that takes a directory as input  
//    and produces a list of instances of the FileMetaData record type defined in Q 1.

// 3) Make a function called getFileMetadata of type string list -> FileMetaData list
//    that takes a list of directories as strings and returns a list of FileMetaData records of
//    all files contained in the directories. You are encouraged to use List.collect
//    in the solution

// 4) Make a function that displays a histogram chart showing the distribution of
//    the file sizes given a list of FileMetaData records.
