Hello. I am very new to this so I had some questions if you guys would be so kind...
[Running XAMMP on a MAC]
I'm trying to connect to the MySQL server that Apache is hosting through the command prompt, but my commands are not going through.
I am current at the "Terminals" application under applications/utilities and I am typing in to the prompt "mysql -h localhost -u root -p". The prompt returns the following "-bash: -mysql: command not found"
What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.

You will need to access the binary executable directly, as it is in a path your system does not recognize.
If your XAMPP installation were in /opt/xampp (which it may or may not be), you would access the mysql executable like so:
