I have to develop a function named “decode(message_file)” that can read an encoded message from a .txt file and return the decoded version as a string. I know how to use Python and wish to use this language for my problem. I used a similar code from another topic similar to mine and I keep getting a NameError ‘lines’ not defined and I don’t know why. Also I’m very new to coding, so I’m just trying to practice as much as I can; thanks for any help!
