Why doesn't it open regular files in Microsoft Visual Studio Code?

Question

Python

I'm asking you to open a file. Doesn't open. I use Microsoft VS code, python,
I can't simply open the file in the interpreter, what am I doing wrong?

I am requesting two files:

file = open('data.txt', 'r')
file = file.read()
print(file)

with open('data1', 'r') as new_file:
    line = new_file.readline()
print(line)

and this is what it outputs:

PS C:\Users\mrrin> & C:/Users/mrrin/Anaconda3/python.exe "c:/Users/mrrin/Desktop/visual studio code/Untitled-1.py"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:/Users/mrrin/Desktop/visual studio code/Untitled-1.py", line 5, in <module>
    with open('blyad', 'r') as new_file:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'data1'
PS C:\Users\mrrin>

Answer 1

And the file "data1" does not exist in the directory with your script. That's why you can't open it.
