Python Pushups

These are a quick exercise to kick you off with Python.

Explore Errors

• Create a new directory in your working dir for the class:

  $ mkdir pushups
  $ cd pushups
  

• Add a new file to it called break_me.py

• 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 most common exceptions you’ll find.

  • For review:

    • NameError

    • TypeError

    • SyntaxError

    • AttributeError

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 the Python standard library reference on Built In Exceptions as a reference.
