        discount_below_30 = 193
        b = 9820
        discount_above_60 = 1696
        list_slices = [discount_below_30, b, discount_above_60]
        labels = ["< 30", "Discount  30 - 60", "Discount > 60"]
        plt.pie(list_slices, labels=labels)

        plt.savefig("generate_discount_likes_count_figure_.jpg", location = "the files/data")#fix file location

this doesn't work

Would like up there

[fresh burrow]

haven't you tried plt.savefig("the files\\generate_discount_likes_count_figure_.jpg")?

[hexed tiger]

No,("i am me", "iamme",)

I'll try now.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Eugene\\PycharmProjects\\34470735_python3.9\\the files\\the files\\generate_discount_likes_count_figure_women.jpg'

[fresh burrow]

what's the current folder? are you running the python file under the files?

[hexed tiger]

I think i renamed it to thefiles

but it doesnt show like that on the sidebar

???ill try

yes my files are in the files

[fresh burrow]

can you print, print(os.getcwd())

[hexed tiger]

C:\Users\Eugene\PycharmProjects\34470735_python3.9\the files

this is the output sir.

[fresh burrow]

as I expected, you are running the script in C:\...\34470735_python3.9\the files so you won't need the "the files\\"

[hexed tiger]

I c ok

Do i just say

\data

since its in the same directory anyway

[fresh burrow]

oh you want to save them in "data" or in "the files"?

[hexed tiger]

the data

as that explicity describes what it is on the graphs

[fresh burrow]

so yeah data\\
