CPT 180: Shell Scripting

I need some help/tutor on how to begin this. I have read part of the "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" book (2nd Edition). If you can help guide me on what pages it associates with so I can learn how to do it step by step.

This goes along with my previous question for the first assignment.

4. Directions Using the following guidelines, create a python program. 1. You will be using the CPT180Stuff folder from Assignment 1 for this assignment. 2.

Programmer's Name (You) Write code that will do the following: a. Using an if statement, determine if both the dognames.txt file and the catnames.txt file exist.
