                  dataset consists of 60000 32x32 colour images in 10 classes, with 6000 images
                  per class.  There are 50000 training images and 10000 test images.  It is

                  the 6 files comprising the CIFAR-10 dataset should be present in the folder
                  indicated by folder_name.  These six files are:

                - #training_labels == The labels for the contents of #training_images.
                  I.e. #training_labels[i] is the label of #training_images[i].
                - #testing_images == The 10,000 testing images from the dataset.
                - #testing_labels == The labels for the contents of #testing_images.
                  I.e. #testing_labels[i] is the label of #testing_images[i].
