If you prefer not to read this article and would like a video representation of it, you can check out the YouTube Video. It goes through everything in this article with a little more detail and will help make it easy for you to start programming the code even if you don’t have the programming language Python installed on your computer. Or you can use both the article and the video as supplementary materials for learning! All of the code logic is written in the video.
