Oh and speaking of Python, I can write basic code but when it some to testing I not so sure. I know that in C we would just build .exe files (we wrote all our code for windows), but for Ubuntu… I tried running the file in the terminal but nothing happened, so i am guessing that I did not set up a parameter right or something..Well anyways I guess I going to be spending the next few hours of my life searching google for an answer.

make a file on the desktop called “hello.py” and makes its contents [print "yay!"] (without the block quotes). Then in the console navigate to the folder with the file [/home/yourname/Desktop] (the capital D is important). Run the command [python hello.py] and it should run the program, displaying the message [yay!] for you. haray!
