Here are two things to focus on:
1. In the introduction paragraph, you have a good overview of the three goals, though add an additional final sentence to the paragraph that ties all three together (this will be your thesis statement).
2. Avoid having the narrative refer to itself (omit phrases such as, “In this paper I will…” or “I have discussed”, etc. Typically, it’s cleaner to just make the statement.
Please see the rubric and in-text comments (in the blue boxes) for feedback and a breakdown of the awarded points.

Write a program that takes the size of a file (in bytes) as input from the user and converts it to the nearest whole number binary prefix (B for byte, KB for kilobyte, MB for megabyte, GB for gigabyte), rounded down. Any file sizes greater than 1024 GB should just be converted to GB. Remember that there are 2^10 bytes in a kilobyte (not 1000), 2^20 bytes in a megabyte, and 2^30 bytes in a gigabyte.
