+# List Files Script
+
+This is a simple Python script that lists all files and directories in a specified folder.
+
+## Features
+
+* Lists files and folders in any directory
+* Handles errors (missing folder or no access)
+* Interactive input (asks user for a path)
+* Beginner-friendly and easy to understand
+
+## Usage
+
+Run the script:
+
+```bash
+python list_files.py
+```
+
+You will be prompted to enter a folder path:
+
+```
+Enter folder path (leave empty for current directory):
+```
+
+* Press **Enter** to use the current directory
+* Or type a path, for example:
+
+```
+/home/user
+```
+
+## Example Output
+
+```
+file1.py
+file2.txt
+folder1
+```
+
+## Using in Code
+
+You can also import and use the function in your own Python code:
+
+```python
+from list_files import list_files
+
+list_files("your/folder/path")
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Python 3.x
+
+## Notes
+
+* If the directory does not exist, an error message will be shown
+* If access is denied, the script will notify you
