Hello,
On Windows, I installed Anaconda and Pycharm. From reading the screen, I tried typing in the first program and running it, but got the following error. I created a file in the same path with text. When I ran the prog, I was not sure if I needed to add the full path or not when responding to the interactive prompt, so I added the full path in a var.
See the code, and the error message below.

bigcount = count
