   │ The error message "command not found" typically means that    │
   │ the command you entered cannot be located in your system's    │
   │ PATH. In this case, "list" is not a recognized command in     │
   │ your current shell environment.                               │
   │                                                               │
   │ A more common command that serves a similar purpose is "ls",  │
   │ which is used to list the contents of a directory. It's       │
   │ possible that the user may have accidentally typed "list"     │
   │ instead of "ls".                                              │

   │ Q: how do I convert an integer to a string in python?         │
   │                                                               │
   │ A:  In Python, you can convert an integer to a string using   │
   │ the `str()` function. Here's an example:                      │
   │ ```python                                                     │
   │ num = 123                                                     │
   │ num_str = str(num)                                            │
   │ print(type(num_str))  # <class 'str'>                         │
   │ ```                                                           │
   │ In this example, the integer `123` is converted to a string   │
   │ `'123'` using the `str()` function. The `type()` function is  │
   │ then used to confirm that the result is indeed a string.      │
