This quiz aims at testing your very basic level of programming history as much as we discussed in Lecture 0.
Please submit your answers to each of these questions in a single file (readme.md) in the appropriate directory in your private repository for this course that we created in class today.
Don’t forget to push your answers to your remote repository by the end of quiz time.
Push your quiz-1 readme.md file to quiz/1/ folder in your Github project.
