Pro tip: I found out most coding errors are just simple typos
I was reading a blog post from a teacher in Austin last week. She said that in her beginner classes, over 70% of the bugs students bring to her are just spelling mistakes or missing punctuation. I spent three days stuck on a Python script because I wrote 'pront' instead of 'print'. It's funny how the smallest thing can stop everything. Has anyone else had a bug that turned out to be a silly typo?

Yeah, "pront" instead of "print" is the classic. I've lost hours to a missing comma.

Oh man, missing a closing bracket in a long function call is the worst! Just one little thing and everything breaks.
