C T  01     Consider a task to create a simple web page using HTML that contains information about Turing Award. So,
                         let the Turing Award be the title of the web page.
                         <HTML> Code </HTML>: the lines of code are enclosed in this tag.
                         <HEAD> Heading </HEAD>: heading information for the page.
                         <TITLE> Title of webpage </TITLE>: title inside these tags will appear as the title of the webpage.
                         <BODY>body of the webpage</BODY>: the desired material to be displayed on the webpage.

                         <H1> Text </H1>: Heading of some text
                         <P> Text </P>: anything enclosed within <P> and </P> is the paragraph text.
                         <A>: used to create a hyperlink, which links pages to each other. The most important attribute of the <A> tag
                         is HREF, which indicates the link's destination.

                         HTML Code:
                         <HTML>
                         <HEAD>
                         <TITLE> Turing Award </TITLE>
                         </HEAD>
                         <BODY>
                         <H1> ACM A. M. Turing Award </H1>
                         <P> The <A HREF="https://www.acm.org/">ACM</A> A. M. Turing Award is an annual prize given by the
                         Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for contributions "of lasting and major technical importance to
                         the computer field". It is considered the highest distinction in computer science. Sometimes, it is referred to
                         as the "Nobel Prize of Computing".</P>
                         <P>The award is named after <A HREF="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing">Alan Turing</A>, who
                         was  a  British  mathematician  and  reader  in  mathematics  at  the  University  of  Manchester.  Turing  is  often
                         credited as a key founder of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. </P>
                         </BODY>
                         </HTML>
                         When opened in the Browser, it appears as shown in Fig 7.6.
