Helper Video for the First Assignment:

Video: Helper video for the first assignment. There will not be a helper video for the other assignments

Objective:

You will create a structured project folder, organize files, manipulate content, and ensure correct file management practices using terminal commands.

Instructions:

Create a Project Directory:

Open your terminal and navigate to your home directory (cd ~). Create a new directory named Assignment1:

mkdir Assignment1

Inside Assignment1, create three subdirectories: src, docs, and data:

mkdir src docs data

Working with Files:

In the src directory, create a file named main.py using the touch command:

touch src/main.py

Use gedit to open main.py and write a basic Python script that prints "Hello, World!":

print("Hello, World!")

In the docs directory, create (touch) a Markdown file named README.md and add the following content (gedit):

# Assignment 1
This project contains Python code and related data files. You can print `Hello, World!` by running the `main.py` in the `src` directory.

In the data directory, create two text files named input.txt and output.txt:

touch data/input.txt data/output.txt

File Content Manipulation:

In data/input.txt, write three lines of data using the echo command:

echo "First line of data" > data/input.txt
echo "Second line of data" >> data/input.txt
echo "Third line of data" >> data/input.txt

Use the cat command to display the content of input.txt and redirect it to output.txt:

cat data/input.txt > data/output.txt

Write a README.md file for Your Assignment 1:

Create a README.md file in the Assignment1/ directory and write details of your assignment in it in Markdown language.
