Question

3. Read the Python code below and identify the 4 errors it contains. Write out the corrected version and categorise each mistake as either a syntax error, a runtime error or a logic error. # Program to read data from a text file, print data with a line number fileIn = open('datafile1.dat', 'b') line = fileIn.readline() lineNum = 0 while line != ": lineNum += 1 print(lineNum + ':' + line,end=") line = filein.readline() fileIn.close() [10 marks]
