trying out some coding stuff

that i've never done before. I know some html, don't really know css but can make it do stuff for me, but for the first time I messed around in terminal & managed to find file directories and make it list out files that I have. I know, it's super basic lol :) but it was cool to see stuff happen when I typed! ah, not even list files in directories, I also got it to tell me when the files were created. Awesome.
Let's see if I can remember what the commands were:

cd [finding certain folders through paths]
ls [list]
ls -l [that's an L] [for showing the date created etc]
yay!

also figured out a small little issue that was confusing me for a bit. For a while I was having trouble where the path wasn't working, say

/folder1/folder2/folder 3

it was like "never heard of that place."

Then I managed to google & find out that, of course, it was getting all tripped up by the space. Of course! why would it think those were the same thing? I know it because I know what I named my folders but the computer doesn't. A folder with a space in the name has to be written like this:

/folder 1/folder2/"folder 3"

kind of self-evident. But also. cool! I figured it out :)

woke up full of optimism & hope. then had a really horrible day.
