Even if you didn't get to the pre-lab by the deadline, you should work through it before proceeding with the rest of the lab. A PDF of the pre-lab is available on Moodle.

Setup

Before you start writing code, you will set up a directory for this assignment on the cwolf server. To connect to cwolf, do one of the following:
- In Windows... Open PuTTY. Fill in cwolf.cs.sonoma.edu as the hostname, and log in using your CS department username and password.
- In Mac OS X... Open Terminal. Substitute your CS department username for yourusername in the command below:
```
ssh yourusername@cwolf.cs.sonoma.edu
```
  and type your password when prompted.
Enter your CS 115 subdirectory by typing
```
cd cs115
```
Type pwd (print working directory) and verify that the output is:
/home/student/yourusername/cs115
Create a directory for Lab 5 by typing
```
mkdir lab05
```
Enter your Lab 5 directory by typing
```
cd lab05
```
Type pwd again, and verify that the output is:
/home/student/yourusername/cs115/lab05
Copy two more files into your new directory by typing:
```
cp ~srivoire/cs115/pickup/points*.txt ~/cs115/lab05/
```
If you get any errors, call a member of the course staff to help you.
For now, close Terminal or PuTTY. You will do most of this lab in IDLE.
Right-click or control-click to download points-test.txt and points.txt into your default Python directory (C:\Python34 on Windows or Documents on a Mac).
