I am confused, I don't know what is wrong, but here is what the professor says about this exercise https://mrkzgulfup.com/uploads/163354717099413.jpg

here are my codes:

def filereading():

    rows = int(input("Enter the number of rows: "))

    columns = int(input("Enter the number of columns: "))

    f = open('output/data_04.txt')

    filereading()

Answer 1

Is your python file in the same directory as the output folder? If not, then you need to either move the python file you are running to that directory or specify the full absolute file path of the file you are trying to write to.
