  • Demonstrate their understanding of key concepts covered up to this point.
  • Define and identify: debugging, syntax errors.
  • Analyze and respond to error messages.

Materials/Preparation

Instructor's Notes

1. Welcome and Review

  • Ask students for any final questions before passing out the quiz.

2. Quiz

3. Debugging Activity

  • Explain to students that you will now be exploring how to read analyze and respond to errors in code.

  • Ask students to read through it and predict what will be printed out.

    favorite_number_str = input("What is your favorite number: ")
birth_month_str = input("What month where you born in: ")
lucky_number = int(favorite_number_str) + int(birth_month_str)
print("Your lucky number is " + lucky_number)

  • Remind students that when reading through code we go line by line, as if we are the interpreter.

Demonstration

  • Run the code, display the stack trace, and have students analyze the error message reported.
  • Explain that debugging is the process of tracking. and fixing errors in your code.
  • Indentation Errors: Errors the students are most likely to have seen
    • IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level
  • Ask student why these errors are caused and how they find/fix this type of error? Suggest using the tab key to indent and the shift-tab to remove an indent as ways to avoid the error.
  • Direct students to work through and complete this web tutorial on debugging.

Accommodation/Differentiation

Make sure to provide extended time on the quiz for any students who need extra time.
