Debugging Activity

Read. analyze and respond to errors in code.

Instructions:

1. Read through the below sample code.

2. Predict what will be printed out. Remember that when reading through code we go line by line, as if we are the interpreter.

3. Run the code, display the stack trace, and analyze the error message reported.

Code Example

1 favorite_number_str = input("What is your favorite number: ")

2 birth_month_str = input("What month were you born in: ")

3

4 lucky_number = int(favorite_number_str) + int(birth_month_str)

5 print("Your lucky number is " + lucky_number)

Debugging is the process of tracking and fixing errors in your code.
