DHT22 Temperature and Humidity Sensor Errors

I am using mac terminal and trying to use a raspberry pi 4 to capture and store values taken from a DHT22 sensor and I get these errors whenever I try to connect it in properly: DHT sensor not found, check wiring this is when I connect my DH22 sensor

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Can anyone make any sense of this?

My code is as follows:

    import time
    import datetime
    import board
    import adafruit_dht
    Initial the dht device, with data pin connected to:
    
    dhtDevice = adafruit_dht.DHT22(board.D4)
    
    e = datetime.datetime.now()
    date = "%s-%s-%s" % (e.day, e.month, e.year)
    t = time.localtime()
    current_time = time.strftime("%H%M%S", t)
    file = open('humidityValues'+ date + '_' + current_time +'.txt', 'w')
    you can pass DHT22 use_pulseio=False if you wouldn't like to use pulseio.
    This may be necessary on a Linux single board computer like the Raspberry Pi,
    but it will not work in CircuitPython.
    dhtDevice = adafruit_dht.DHT22(board.D18)
    
    while True:
    try:
    # Print the values to the serial port
    temperature_c = dhtDevice.temperature
    temperature_f = temperature_c * (9 / 5) + 32
    humidity = dhtDevice.humidity
    t = time.local
    current_time = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", t)
    temperature_c = dhtDevice.temperature
    temperature_f = temperature_c * (9 / 5) + 32
    humidity = dhtDevice.humidity
    str = "time=" + current_time + " temp={0:0.1f}ºC humidity={1:0.1f}%".format(temperature_c, humidity)
    print(str)
    file.write(str + "\n")
    
    except RuntimeError as error:
        # Errors happen fairly often, DHT's are hard to read, just keep going
        print(error.args[0])
        time.sleep(2.0)
        continue
    except Exception as error:
        dhtDevice.exit()
        #raise error
    
    time.sleep(2.0)

I tried to remedy the problem with this:

        continue
    except Exception as error:

        #raise error
    
    time.sleep(2.0)

But, all I get are things like: Checksum did not validate. Try again. A full buffer was not returned. Try again.

Does anybody have any suggestions.
