Yeah, I messed that up as mkitti pointed out. Right now, I just have the `input` as constants at the top of the main file, but I want to transition to a TOML file that I would package with my code and have users edit. I am also keeping an eye on [Best way to specify a filename inside a function - New to Julia - JuliaLang](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/best-way-to-specify-a-filename-inside-a-function/80263) for other user input options.
