Python Helper-Python programming guidance tool

Example

Explaining the difference between mutable and immutable types, such as how lists (mutable) can be altered in place, while tuples (immutable) cannot be changed once created.

Scenario

A student learning Python for the first time may struggle to understand why changing a list inside a function affects it globally, whereas modifying a string does not. Python Helper would break down this concept with simple code snippets to illustrate the difference.

Example

Helping a user debug an 'IndexError' in a loop where the list index exceeds the length due to incorrect boundary conditions.

Scenario

A programmer working on a project accidentally writes a loop that iterates one step too many, causing an 'IndexError'. Python Helper would analyze the code, identify the off-by-one mistake, and suggest the correct way to set the loop boundary.

Example

Recommending improvements based on PEP 8, such as proper indentation, naming conventions for variables, and avoiding line length issues.

Scenario

A developer submits code with inconsistent indentation, hard-to-read variable names, and lines exceeding 79 characters. Python Helper would suggest adjustments to align the code with PEP 8 standards, making the code cleaner and more maintainable.
