I suggest you start by opening up a programmer's editor and saving an
empty file under the name "examresults.py". Then take your keyboard in
hand, and start writing code. The above text would make a good set of
"stub comments" - notes to indicate what parts of code you still need
to write - which you can progressively replace with actual code.
