+#!/bin/bash
+
+# This script archives each file and directory in the current directory into its respective 7z archive.
+# It ensures that the created archives are not included in the loop to avoid an infinite loop.
+# It also checks if 7z is installed and installs it if necessary.
+
+# Usage:
+# 1. Save this script to a file, e.g., archive_files.sh.
+# 2. Make the script executable: chmod +x archive_files.sh.
+# 3. Run the script in the directory containing the files and directories to be archived: ./archive_files.sh.
+
+# Check if 7z is installed
+if ! command -v 7z &> /dev/null; then
+  echo "7z is not installed. Installing 7z..."
+  sudo apt-get update
+  sudo apt-get install -y p7zip-full
+fi
+
+# Check if the current directory contains any files or directories
+if [ -z "$(ls -A .)" ]; then
+  echo "No files or directories to archive in the current directory."
+  exit 1
