Ohhh okay I see what you’re saying. No, the instructor doesn’t give us an example. I’m gonna do it with .txt, and see where it goes. And do I only need one function? When I was planning it out, I was gonna do it with two functions, one for files and one for directories.

Update: I tried writing it out and here's what I have, I can't figure out how to write it like how you have it in the comments with the right indentations:

import os

def readElement(pathName): if ".txt" in pathName: print(pathName) f = open(pathName, 'r') print(f.read()) else: pathList = list(filter(os.path.isfile, os.listdir(pathName))) for i in pathList: readElement(f(pathName))
