Lab 1 - Troubleshooting

---

Back to Syllabus

• We are going to take an existing lab and try to solve all of the mistakes by looking at the error messages.
• Copy and paste the following code into your own python file
• There are 5 errors total for this lab, 4 will raise errors, one will not.
• Of the four errors which raise error messages, three are easy to find. However, one is not obvious as it's only triggered by a specific outcome of the game.
• The error that doesn't raise an error message is also only triggered by a specific outcome of the game.
• Please leave a comment after each error you correct

• Once your version is working without errors, your done!
