Create a function that pulls a picture from a URL and creates a thumbnail saved on your local machine.

Since this assignment specifies the picture should be saved as a “thumbnail,” the full answer should include a function that decreases the image to a thumbnail size (saveThumbnail2). However, if the picture pulled from a URL was a thumbnail originally, your function should just save the image without resizing (saveThumbnail1).

2.

Given a folder with images in it, create an HTML page named index.html that contains links to each JPEG file in the directory as follows:

Write a function that creates a string of the path to a directory.
Generate a thumbnail (half the size) copy of each image.
Use makeEmptyPicture to create a blank picture in the correct size, then scale down the original picture into the blank picture.
Name the new image “half-” + the original filename (e.g., if the original filename was fred.jpg, save the half-size image as half-fred.jpg). The anchor in the link to each full-size picture should be the half-size image.
