Make deliberate mistakes
Today's lesson on the course focused on:
- The different kinds of data in Python (e.g. text, numbers, images, audio etc)
- Strings and multi-line strings
- The type() function
- Using Python as a simple calculator
One of the things that I appreciate about the course is that Andrew encourages students to deliberately make mistakes. He asks us to create errors and then figure out what the problem is with the help of the AI chatbot. For one, it gets us comfortable with seeing error messages. For another, it also helps us get more familiar with identifying and fixing errors.
