   ...

Because the Makefile applies "diff" to compare the actual output from
running e.g. the example01 executable and a reference file in the
"output" subfolder. If the files match, "diff" prints nothing. This is
the "no news is good news" principle -- a sucessful test is silent.

In your first try, the shell did not find the executable, so the actual
output file (./example01.txt) became empty, and "diff" showed all the
lines in the reference file (output/example01.txt) as "difference" lines.

That depends on the options you use with the "ls" command. (I always
turn off the "color" option -G and use the suffix-flagging option -F
instead, because I find it more readable.)
