Most people interact with their computers through a graphical user interface because it is intuitive and easy to learn. Many , however, prefer to use the command line interface because it's faster once you learn to use it. In this activity you will set up your home directory to keep your files organized and learn how to use the command line interface.
Details
From the terminal, setup your home directory so that it looks like the following:
Note that username is your home directory, the directory that is the same name as you used to log in. The directories Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, and Videos already exist and you do not need to modify them. The directories cs120, labs, assignments, and lab1 do not exist, so you need to create them.
Example
$ pwd /home/students/patsy $ ls Desktop Downloads Music Public Videos Documents cs120 Pictures Templates $ cd cs120 $ ls labs assignments $ cd labs $ ls lab1
Hint
It's that time of the class where we ask you to get to know your fellow classmates. Of course, the sole purpose of this activity is not just getting to know one another. It's also a fantastic example of how to use the print statement.
Details
In Emacs, create a python program in a file called classmates.py. The program should print a table like the one shown below. However, instead of Sally, Alexander, Graham, and Terry, you should put your and your lab partner's information and information about two classmates sitting near you. The program should not use spaces to align columns. Instead use the tab character, "\t".
Example
$ python3 classmates.py Name Hometown Intended Major ==== ======== ============== Sally Roanoke Computer Science Alexander Washington Math Graham Charlottesville Physics Terry Richmond Undecided
Hint
Challenge
You are only required to have 4 rows in your table. However, it would be very advantageous for you to get to know more people from the class. Time permitting, go talk to as many people in the class as possible, and add them to the table as well.
