Task 0

Created: 2026-03-02

Here is the first set of tasks for the group (ignore this if you use GNU/Linux or macOS, this is only for Windows users):

  1. On a Windows machine, open the Command Prompt window using the Run dialog. Which is the current working directory when it opens?
  2. Let us check later during our first session whether it is the same for everyone or does it differ
  3. Did you know that you can display the help page for all Command Prompt commands by typing /? after the command? For example > dir /? displays the help for the dir command
  4. You can list all the Environment Variables used by the Command Prompt with the command > set
  5. You can display the value of an Environment Variable with the command > echo %PATH%, where PATH is the Environment Variable and its value is %PATH%. You can do the same for any other Environment Variable
  6. Create a folder named Python in C:\Users\, where is the name you use to login. Do this either using Windows Explorer and then open the Command Prompt within this folder.
