A practical course designed to help learners identify, understand, and fix frequent mistakes made by Python programmers. Through real-world examples and hands-on tasks, students will develop the skills to debug, refactor, and write more robust Python code.

Explore the most frequent syntax and indentation mistakes in Python, understand their causes, and learn strategies to avoid them.

Identify and resolve common mistakes related to variable naming, assignment, and scope in Python.

Uncover frequent logical mistakes, including off-by-one errors, improper comparisons, and boolean logic mishaps.

Investigate mistakes related to mutable default arguments, object references, and unintended side effects in Python functions.
