What does it mean to "resist being manipulated by staged photo opportunities"?

Afile named data.txt contains an unknown number of lines, each consisting of a single integer. write some code that creates two files, dataplus.txt and dataminus.txt, and copies all the lines of data1.txt that have positive integers to dataplus.txt, and all the lines of data1.txt that have negative integers to dataminus.txt. zeros are not copied anywhere.
