[Tutor] How to handle try and except in this case

Yes, it was probably my fault. Sorry about that. I have come up with a new 
way of working around
a problem in my main program so I only need two files to be tested if they 
exist instead of say 10 files.

So, the program should check if two text files exist. If neither of them 
exist, and only if neither of them,
then the program should print say "hi".

If only one of them exist, the program should continue to run without 
crashing.


I hope this was more easy to understand!

Thanks for the information. I figured that it was a little strange what I 
wrote.
