makedirs() in loop creates invisible directory/folder?

Question

I am trying to mass produce folders that would be numbered 0,1,2...

I use os.makedirs() in Python to do so. It works if I am just creating a single folder, but when I use a for loop for mass production something weird happens.

When I open Finder (file browser in Mac), I don't see the folder there. Yet when I type in the folder's path in Mac's Go box ( cmd-shift-G ), then it magically appears, which means that the folder actually exists but was invisible for some reason.

Does anyone know why the folders are invisible?

import os
for i in range(3):
    os.makedirs('/Users/Olivia/code/'+str(i))

I apologise if I'm interpreting the question wrong, but if you are saying that the folders cannot be seen on the desktop, I found that the folders are saved in your home ( '/Users/Olivia' in your case) folder, so if you want to save the folders in your desktop, then you can do:

import os
for i in range(3):
    os.makedirs("/Users/Olivia/Desktop/code/"+str(i))
