EMACS Saving Issue

Doing some work for fun on the side and learning but i cant get passed this one section told me to create a my_emacs_file in /tmp which i did but I am doing something wrong or its not reading it please help!

I have tried to watch tutorials of this exact process of saving and still says its not working thanks for the help in advance. I have also tried to ask some people that are also in the class and they cant seem to do it either. Because when i hit submit it says this:

 "You don't seem to have created the /tmp/my_emacs_file with 
  emacs properly. Can you try again?"

Which is confusing me because when i type ls a file named "my_emacs_file" pops out any advice thank you again.

Open Terminal:

  1. cd /tmp : changes the current directory to /tmp
  2. pwd : making sure you are really in it
  3. emacs my_emacs_file : and press Return (or Enter): creates my_emacs_file inside /tmp. You may see some warnings, ignore them.
  4. Type anything.
  5. Type C-x C-s : saves the file (you should see at the bottom Wrote /tmp/my_emacs_file).
  6. Type C-x C-c : quits Emacs
  7. ls : check if your newly created file is at this location.
