Note that this function does not want you to return the contents of the file; it just wants you to return the number of lines. The easiest way to do this function is to put the file in a for-loop and use an accumulator to count the number of times the body of the loop was executed.

I am not sure why my function is incorrect. I set up my accumulator can someone help and fix my code?

def count_lines(filepath): """ Returns the number of lines in the given file. Lines are separated by the ' ' character, which is standard for Unix files. Parameter filepath: The file to be read Precondition: filepath is a string with the FULL PATH to a text file """ # HINT: Remember, you can use a file in a for-loop accumulator = 0 for line in filepath: if line == ' ': accumulator = accumulator + 1
