Homework Task 3: Explore Errors

• Create a new directory in your personal folder in the students folder of the class repository:

  $ mkdir session01
  $ cd session01
  

• Make sure you create it in your clone of your fork of the repository.

• Add a new file to it called break_me.py

• Use git add to add the file to the repository.

• In the break_me.py file write four simple Python functions:
  • Each function, when called, should cause an exception to happen
  • Each function should result in one of the four common exceptions from our lecture.
    • for review: NameError, TypeError, SyntaxError, AttributeError
  • Use the Python standard library reference on Built In Exceptions as a reference

(hint – the interpreter will quit when it hits a Exception – so you can comment out all but the one you are testing at the moment)

• Use git commit to commit changes you make to your clone
  • Make frequent, small commits using git commit when working.
  • Write clear, concise commit messages that explain what you are doing.
• When you are finished with your work, use git push to push your changes to your fork on GitHub.
• Finally, issue a pull request to the original CodeFellows repository with your work.
