Answer 1

I think what is being asked for is for you to create the .py file that will contain your code.

In Windows you can create a file through file explorer by doing the steps defined here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-create-a-new-text-file-using-file-explore/118e12c3-8969-440e-b12c-0e0234db24eb

Just make sure to make the extension .py

You can also create files through the Windows command prompt by navigating to the directory you would like to create the file and using the following command:

type NUL > Example.py

Here is the Linux command:

touch Example.py

Most text editors have ways of creating new files. Depending on which text editor the guide is wanting you to use, you can find out how to create a new file through that specific program.
