Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Hey @cunning hawk!

It looks like you're trying to paste code into this channel.

Discord has support for Markdown, which allows you to post code with full syntax highlighting. Please use these whenever you paste code, as this helps improve the legibility and makes it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

Provide full traceback please

!traceback

[verbal patio]

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
        ~~~~^~~
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

If its really long, use a pastebin

File "/tmp/ed-test-marker.py", line 133, in main
result = tf(ctx)
^^^^^^^
File "/tmp/ex_autograder.py", line 30, in test_plot
if len(line) > 0 and line.strip()[0] is not '#':
~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^

[stuck hull]

That error doesn't make sense to me. Can you share a full screenshot of the autograder with your code and what its testing with?

[uncut gorge]

You don't show the code that gives the error

[cunning hawk]

one second

[cunning hawk]

thats all the code there is

its not even a line 133

so idk where tf its getting that from but the string index thing doesn't make any since to me either

[stuck hull]

thats by the autograder/marker

[cunning hawk]

?

the error yea

[stuck hull]

Backup your code somewhere and reset your exercise book

Can you show me what it looks like initially?

[cunning hawk]

blank it just looks like this

[stuck hull]

i see

[cunning hawk]

ive even sent the code over to my friends to test out and there getting the same error too

i feel like that this works but just not the way the auto grader wants it

[stuck hull]

I have no idea
