Debugging

checking and fixing errors in Python

Common errors

• SyntaxError : using the language improperly

• NameError : unknown variable (a variable not yet assigned to a value)

• TypeError: using incompatible data (e.g. a float) with an existing variable (e.g. a string)

Other logic errors may not appear as messages, due to the error having nuances that only human knowledge detect (e.g. a wrong physics formula or the wrong population data of a country)
