You can read the task, take hints and check your answer — but nothing is saved. No XP, no skill points, and this task will not be marked complete.
Rewrite this so it catches only the file-not-found case and lets every other error propagate.
```
try:
data = open(path).read()
except Exception:
data = ''
```
What this proves: Narrow exception handling to failures you can genuinely recover from.
Need assistance? You can reveal sequential hints. Each hint applies a minor penalty to your score.
