print("End of file")

Explanation:

This line prompts user for file name

filenm = input("File name: ")

This line creates an instance of the file

myfile = open(filenm+".txt")

This line iterates through the 10 lines

This line reads the line

     line = myfile.readline()

This line prints each line

     print(line)

This line prints a message indicating that all possible lines have been printed

print("End of file")
