Mod $1$ Lab $-$ Python Fundamentals

This lab will walk you through the process of:

$$ navigating your computer$$s file structure $$ create new files and folders

$$ writing python code $$ running python code

This lab is cooperative $-$ talk with your partner as you go through, and make sure you are progressing together. It is fine for only one person to be coding during lab while the other looks on and discusses what$$s happening $-$ this is called pair programming. Make sure to share the files at the end, since both lab partners must
