HW2.5. Randomized zipped file generation

This is a question to demonstrate random generation capabilities in PrairieLearn. Specifically, this question randomly generates some files from templates, then puts them into a zip file. This zip file is then made available for download to the student.

Specifically, we generate a zip file generated_files.zip, containing two files, event.txt, whose contents are general, move, again, and security.py, which contains a function named put that prints Hello world!.

Download the zipped file here: generated_files.zip
