 Then we have three sets of three characters, and these are the different permissions for:
 \\
-    "-rw" - Owner
+    "rw-" - Owner
-    "-r-" - Group
+    "r--" - Group
     "r--" - Other
+\\
+Remember:
 \\
     r is for read, w is for write and x is for execute.
 \\
+So for our example:
 \\
+    "-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 4452 Jul 25 18:01 example.py"
+    "-" means its a file
+    "rw-" Owner has read + write permissions
+    "r--" Group has read only
+    "r--" Other has read only.
+\\
+Who is the Owner and Group?
+\\
+    "-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 4452 Jul 25 18:01 example.py"
+    In this example, pi is the owner and they are a member of the pi group
