Treehouse TeacherHi there, Sinazo Nongena! You're doing fine, but something happened between step 1 and step 2 here.
Right now, you have this:
with open('basics.txt') as file:
But opens a file and saves it to the variable file. It should be named file_object as stated in Step 1. So you need:
with open('basics.txt') as file_object:
The rest of your code is fine so far!
Hope this helps!
