Execution Practice

This assignment is designed to give you practice running (executing) a Python program. Start by saving the following file to your classwork folder.

(You can save the file by right-clicking and choosing “Save Target As...” from the context menu.)

Then open up a terminal and navigate to where you saved the star_wave.py file.
