 Common error finding method in python

1) Forgetting to put a :

 at the end of an if, elif, else, for, while, class, or def

statement.
 (Causes “Syntax Error: invalid syntax”)
Example:-
For i in Range(10):
if(i==5)
break:
else: print(i)
continue
by Neway.M 8 6/19/2025
 2) Using = instead of ==.

 (Causes “Syntax Error: invalid syntax”)

a, b = 0
if (a = b)
a +b = c
print( z)

by Neway.M 9 6/19/2025
 3) Using the wrong amount of indentation.

 (Causes “Indentation Error: unexpected indent”

and “Indentation Error:
 unindent does not match any outer indentation
level” and “Indentation Error: expected an indented
block”)
the indentation only increases after a statement
ending with
1. a : colon, and
2. afterwards must return to the previous
by Neway.M indentation. 10 6/19/2025
 4) Forgetting the len() call in a for loop statement.
 (Causes “TypeError: 'list' object cannot be
interpreted as an integer”)
 Commonly you want to iterate over the indexes of
items in a list or string, which requires calling the
range() function.
 Just remember to pass the return value of
Len(some List), instead of passing just some List.

by Neway.M 11 6/19/2025
 5) Trying to modify a string value.

 (Causes “TypeError: 'str' object does not support

item assignment”)
 Strings are an immutable data type.

by Neway.M 12 6/19/2025
 6) Trying to concatenate a non-string value to a string
value.
 (Causes “Type Error: Can't convert 'int' object to str
implicitly”)

by Neway.M 13 6/19/2025
 7) Forgetting a quote to begin or end a string value.

 (Causes “Syntax Error: EOL while scanning string literal

”)
Example1:-
str = “Educational channel please subscribe
for c in range[3,9]
Print (str(c))
Example2:
a = input("Enter any number")
if a%2=0:
print("Even number)
Else :
print("Odd number")

by Neway.M 14 6/19/2025
 8) A typo for a variable or function name.

 (Causes “Name Error: name 'fooba' is not defined”)

by Neway.M 15 6/19/2025
 9) A typo for a method name.

(Causes “Attribute Error: 'str' object has no attribute

'lowerr'”)

by Neway.M 16 6/19/2025
 10) Going past the last index of a list.

 (Causes “Index Error: list index out of range”)

by Neway.M 17 6/19/2025
 11) Using a non-existent dictionary key.

 (Causes “Key Error: 'spam'”)

by Neway.M 18 6/19/2025
 12) Trying to use a Python keyword for a variable
name.
 (Causes “Syntax Error: invalid syntax”)

by Neway.M 19 6/19/2025
 13) Using an augmented assignment operator on a
new variable.
 (Causes “Name Error: name 'foobar' is not defined”)
 Do not assume that variables start off with a value
such as 0 or the blank string.
 A statement with an augmented operator like spam
+= 1 is equivalent to spam = spam + 1.
 This means that there must be a value in spam to
begin with.
by Neway.M 20 6/19/2025
 14) Using a local variable (with the same name as a global
variable) in a function before assigning the local variable.
 (Causes “UnboundLocal Error: local variable 'foobar'
referenced before assignment”)
 Using a local variable in a function that has the same
name as a global variable is tricky. The rule is: if a
variable in a function is ever assigned something, it is
always a local variable when used inside that function.
Otherwise, it is the global variable inside that function.
 This means you cannot use it as a global variable in the
function before assigning it.

by Neway.M 21 6/19/2025
 15) Trying to use range() to create a list of integers.
(Causes “Type Error: 'range' object does not support
item assignment”)
 Sometimes you want a list of integer values in
order, so range() seems like a good way to
generate this list.
 However, you must remember that range() returns
a "range object", and not an actual list value.

by Neway.M 22 6/19/2025
 16) There is no ++ increment or –- decrement
operator. (Causes “SyntaxError: invalid syntax”)

 If you come from a different programming

language like C++, Java, or PHP, you may try to
increment or decrement a variable with ++ or --.
 There are no such operators in Python.

 Fibonacci Series In Python

 Fibonacci series in python is a sequence of numbers in

which the current term is the sum of the previous two
terms.
 The first two terms of the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and
1. So what is the logic behind this?
 Let’s understand it in detail.

 The logic behind Fibonacci sequence in
python

 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610,

987, 1597,… this is the Fibonacci sequence.
 As you can see, the first two terms of the sequence
are 0 and 1.
 The third term is an addition to the first two terms
and so on.
 In general,
 Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2
 Where Fn is a current term.

 Python Program to Check
Armstrong Number

 In this tutorial, we are going learn to check whether an n-

digit integer is an Armstrong number or not.
 To understand this concept, you should have the
knowledge of the following Python programming topics:
1. Python if...else Statement
2. Python while Loop

by Neway.M 37 6/19/2025
 Concept of Armstrong number

 A positive integer is called an Armstrong number of order

if the sum of the cube of the each digit is equal to it.
 For example if a number is abcdfgh…. in order to
become armstrong number it must satisfies the
following condition
abcd... = a + b + c + d + …..
n n n n

 In case of an Armstrong number of 3 digits, the sum of

cubes of each digit is equal to the number itself. For
example:
 153 = 1*1*1 + 5*5*5 + 3*3*3 // 153 is an Armstrong
number.

by Neway.M 38 6/19/2025
 Python code to check weather a given
number is Armstrong number or not
# take input from the user
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

# initialize sum
sum = 0

# find the sum of the cube of each digit

temp = num
while temp > 0:
digit = temp % 10
sum += digit ** 3
temp //= 10

# display the result

if num == sum:
print(num,"is an Armstrong number")
else:
print(num,"is not an Armstrong number")

by Neway.M 39 6/19/2025
 Cont.….

 Here, we ask the user for a number and check if it is an

Armstrong number.
 We need to calculate the sum of the cube of each digit.
 So, we initialize the sum to 0 and obtain each digit number
by using the modulus operator %.
 The remainder of a number when it is divided by 10 is the
last digit of that number.
 We take the cubes using exponent operator.
 Finally, we compare the sum with the original number and
conclude that it is Armstrong number if they are equal.

 Python Program to Count Occurrence of a Character in a String

 Write a Python Program to Count Occurrence of a Character in a

String with a practical example.
 This python program allows you to enter a string and a character.
for loop
# Python Program to Count Occurrence of a Character in a String
string = input("Please enter your own String : ")
char = input("Please enter your own Character : ")
count = 0
for i in range(len(string)):
if(string[i] == char):
count = count + 1
print("The total Number of Times ", char, " has Occurred = " , count)

by Neway.M 46 6/19/2025
 Cont.…

 Here, we used For Loop to iterate each character in a

String.
 Inside the Python For Loop, we used the If statement to
check whether any character in a string is equal to the
given character or not.
 If true, then count = count + 1.

by Neway.M 47 6/19/2025
 Python Program to Count Occurrence of a
Character method 2

 This Python counting total occurrence of a character in a

string program is the same as the above.
 we just replaced the For Loop with While Loop.
# Python Program to Count Occurrence of a Character in a String
string = input("Please enter your own String : ")
char = input("Please enter your own Character : ")
i=0
count = 0
while(i < len(string)):
if(string[i] == char):
count = count + 1
i=i+1
print("The total Number of Times ", char, " has Occurred = " , count)

 Python Program to Count Total Occurrence of a
Character method 3

 This Python total occurrence of a given Character

program is the same as the first example.

check palindrome(string)

5 easy way’s
 In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Python to check if a
string is a palindrome.
 You’ll learn 5 different ways, including using string
indexing, for loops, the reversed() function.
 You’ll also learn the limitations of the different approaches,
and when one might be better to use than another.
 But before we dive in, let’s answer a quick question:
 what is a palindrome?
 a palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence that is the
same spelled forward as it is backwards
by Neway.M 50 6/19/2025
 [Link] String Indexing

 One of the easiest ways to use Python to check if a string is a

palindrome is to use string indexing.
 One of the greatest things about Python indexing is that you
can set a step counter as well, meaning you can move over an
iterable at a desired rate.
 The way that we’ll make use of this is to use a step of -1,
meaning that we move over the iterable from the back to the
front.
 An important thing to keep in mind is that your string may have
different casing as well as spaces. Because of this, we’ll need
to preprocess our string to remove capitalization and any
spaces.
 Let’s take a look at using string indexing to check if a string is a
palindrome in Python:

by Neway.M 51 6/19/2025
 code
# Use String Indexing in Python to check if a String is a
Palindrome
a_string = 'Was it a car or a cat I saw'
def palindrome(string):
string = [Link]().replace(' ', '')
return string == string[::-1]
print(palindrome(a_string))

by Neway.M 52 6/19/2025
 steps

Let’s explore what we’ve done here:

1. We define a function that takes a single string
2. We then re-assign the string to itself, but lower all
the character cases and remove any spaces
3. We then return the evaluation of whether the
string is equal to itself, backwards
4. This returns True if the string is a palindrome, and
False if it is not

by Neway.M 53 6/19/2025
 [Link] the Python Reversed Function to Check if a String is a

Palindrome

 Python comes with a built-in function, reversed(), which,

well, reverses an item.
 You can pass in some iterable item, be it a string, a list,
or anything else ordered, and the function returns the
reversed version of it.
# Use the Reversed() function in Python to check if a String is a
Palindrome
a_string = 'Was it a car or a cat I saw'
def palindrome(string):
string = [Link]().replace(' ', '')
reversed_string = ''.join(reversed(string))
return string == reversed_string
print(palindrome(a_string))
# Returns: True

by Neway.M 54 6/19/2025
 Cont..

Let’s take a look at what our function does:

 Similar to the method above, it first changes all
casing to lower case and removes all spaces
 Then, it uses the reverse() function to reverse the
string. This is then joined.
 Finally, the two strings are evaluated against
whether or not they’re equal.

by Neway.M 55 6/19/2025
 [Link] a For Loop to Check if a Python String is a

Palindrome

♥ Similar to the above methods, we can use a Python for-

loop to loop over a string through the reverse to see if its
characters match.
Let’s see how we can use a for loop to check if a string is a
palindrome:
a_string = 'Was it a car or a cat I saw'
def palindrome(string):
string = [Link]().replace(' ', '')
reversed = ‘ '
for i in range(len(string), 0, -1):
reversed += string[i-1]
return string == reversed
print(palindrome(a_string))

by Neway.M 56 6/19/2025
 Cont..

 What we’ve done here is traversed the list from the

last index, -1, to its first, 0.
 We then assign that value to a string reversed.
 Finally, we evaluate whether the two strings are
equal.
 In the next section, you’ll learn how to use a Python
while loop to see if a palindrome exists.

by Neway.M 57 6/19/2025
 [Link] a Python While Loop to Check if a String is a Palindrome

 In this section, let’s explore how to use a Python while

loop to see if a string is a palindrome or not.
 One of the benefits of this approach is that we don’t
actually need to reassign a reversed string, which, if
your strings are large, won’t consume much memory.
a_string = 'Was it a car or a cat I saw'
def palindrome(string):
string = [Link]().replace(' ', '')
first, last = 0, len(string) - 1
while(first < last):
if(string[first] == string[last]):
first += 1
last -= 1
else:
return False
return True
print(palindrome(a_string))
by Neway.M 58 6/19/2025
 Cont..

 What we do here is loop over the string from beginning to

end.
 Our while loop evaluates whether or not the ith index from
the front is equal to the ith index from the back.
 A major performance benefit here can be that if a string
is clearly not a palindrome, say if the first and last
characters don’t match, then the loop breaks.
 This saves us significant memory and time.

by Neway.M 59 6/19/2025
 [Link] if a Number is a Python Palindrome

 The easiest way to check if a number is a Python

palindrome, is to convert the number to a string and apply
any of the methods mentioned above.
 Let’s see how we can do this using the string indexing
method:
# Use String Indexing in Python to check if a Number is a
Palindrome
a_number = 123454321
def palindrome(number):
number = str(number)
return number == number[::-1]
print(palindrome(a_number))
