Can anyone help with this error: ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '2, 7, 30, 1, 3, 400, 2'

I am running the code using PyCharm. Created a subdirectory called numbers. If I do import os, os.getcwd() it shows I'm in the right directory for running the bogostort and load scripts. I guess I'm a little confused with what sys.argv[1] is doing. Is the 1 pointing to the subdirectory? If so, it should work, right?

It looks like the code is trying to convert a string of numbers separated by commas and spaces into a single numeric value, which is causing an error. But the solution isn't clear from just the error.

Please show more of (preferably all) the code, and provide a link to the course page you are working with.
