Long and Assignment in line 1 are interpreted by the Bash shell as too many positional arguments, 2 instead of 1. Instead enclose the whole path in quotes like this:'/home/farhana/Desktop/Long Assignment/seqfasta.fa'
or connect Long and Assignment with a connecting character like this Long-Assignment to make it a single positional argument instead of two separate arguments. You can also escape the space character between Long and Assignment by preceding it with a backslash which makes it not interpreted by the shell as a special character.
