Description
-------
Included in the exercise is a zipfile, 'files.zip'. It contains 200 files with random character strings for names, all lowercase. First, unzip this file into a directory named 'original_files'.
Your job is to write a program, ex1.py, that does the following things:
1. Create 26 directories in the current directory, one for each letter of the alphabet:
./a/
./b/
./c/
etc.
2. Loop through all the files in the original_files directory, and organize each of those files into the directory that their name starts with.
### Example:
The file named 'artichoke.txt' would go into the directory 'a',
'bartholomew.txt' would go into 'b'.
