How to turn in Scripts

1. Testing must be submitted along with your code. You should submit a copy of the code and a screenshot or the results of your test so that I can see a successful run of your code. Every script should be tested. A script that doesn't run is worth 0 points.
2. Comments should be done on EVERY line of code, (this is very bad practice in the real world, never do this for a job) so that I can see that you understand the code that you are submitting. Every line should have an explanation of what that line does. Comments are worth 5 points per script.
3. For submission you need to submit a copy of your code (actual text NO screenshots of code allowed) and your successful test run of your code for every script.

Scripts

1. Write a script that will echo out the phrase “Hello World” and then your name in plain text
2. Write a script that will show each of the 3 types of echo (opaque, semi-opaque and cleartext (from the PowerPoint))\\

Make sure to make 2 separate scripts. Don't solve in just one.

Deliverables

One file that includes all the requested information with your name, the date, and the lab title, make sure to follow the requested pattern for scripts. You need 2 separate scripts for this lab.
