How do I check my code against the final code? I have downloaded the project files. Where do I go from there?

There's rarely only one way to code a solution, so your code might operate correctly but not be identical to the example. The best test is probably just running it and checking for proper operation.

But if you really want to compare them, you can upload the final example to your workspace and use the tool called "diff" that will compare files and show everything different between them. Type "diff --help" for a quick cheat-sheet, or look up "linux diff manual" in a search engine for complete instructions.
