Sorry I am completely new at python and don't understand why this function is
returning an empty dictionary. I want it to take a list of files open them then
return the number of characters as the value and the file name as the key.
def fileLengths(files): d = {} files = [] for file in files:
reader = open(file) for line in reader: char = sum(len(line))
d[file] = char reader.close return d
Thank you sorry I don't understand what I am doing wrong.
