*1. Introduction to TDD and Unit Testing*

*Test-Driven Development (TDD):* A software development process where you write tests before you write the actual code. The cycle is:
*Red:* Write a test that fails.
*Green:* Write the minimum amount of code to pass the test.
*Refactor:* Clean up the code without breaking any tests.
*Unit Testing:* Testing individual units or components of your code in isolation. The goal is to verify that each unit performs as expec ...
