This then outputs a cleaned data file to stdout (perhaps using cat clean_data_file.tsv).

However, we should design breaches_per_month to take an input file (say clean_data_file.tsv) as its argument? If this is not the case, then how will you redirect the stdout so breaches_per_month can accomodate for this. > > Cheers
