As part of my assignment I'm trying to write a program that reads a text file and unifies all the words in that text file together. I made the code so far but it is not working for me and I do not know how else to proceed. What am I missing?

def problem2(filename):
    func = open(filename, 'r')
    string = ''
    for line in func:
        string += line
    func.close()
    return string
print(problem2("lol.txt"))

    If you replace `for line in func:` with `for line in func.readlines():` does that solve the issue? – Random Davis Dec 21 '20 at 17:17

    Welcome to Stack Overflow. [This answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/44953154) in the already linked question does exactly what you want. – bad_coder Dec 22 '20 at 00:26
  • Can you post a sample of the output you are getting along with a sample of the output you expect? – Scott Swezey Dec 22 '20 at 00:26
