Great work! If you need to create or interact with files with spaces in the file name, you can use the following approaches:

 $ mkdir "Wicked Witch of the West"
 $ touch File\ Name\ With\ Spaces\ Using\ Backslash

\ is used here as an escape character, meaning that it causes the character immediately after it to be designated as a character or symbol, in this case, a space ( ), rather than a separator that goes between arguments.

If we entered mkdir Good Witch of the East, we'd get 5 folders respectively named Good, Witch, of, the, and East.
