I am new to Arduino and over all electrical and computer engineering. I need some help with connecting an OLED display to my Arduino. The problem is, I do not currently have a breadboard. If I need a breadboard that is fine, but I would prefer to go without it. I would also prefer to go without soldering it to the board, as this is a temporary project.
I need to connect the display to the VCC, GND, SCL, and SDA pins and ports.
I have an Arduino Uno R3.
Here's a link to the the display on Amazon (hopefully this is needed info.)

Here's a picture of the display itself.

This is a very easy task, since this OLED display have only 4 wires.
You'll need wires like these:
You can find them easily, search for "dupont wire" or "dupont jumpers". Maybe you'll need to solder one end of the wire to the display. Theses wires are in a ribbon, but you can strip them as needed.
Connect Arduino's GND to display's GND; (usually this connection uses black wire)
Connect Arduino's 3.3v to display's VCC; (usually this connection uses orange wire)
Connect Arduino's A5 to displays's SCL; Connect Arduino's A4 to displays's SDA;
You can connect the display's SCL and SDA to other arduino's pins, but you'll need to adjust the sketch to the pins that you've used.
