OP Reply:
Wow, thanks everyone!! Didn’t expect so many helpful replies.
I tried VS Code with the Python extension, and the real-time highlighting is a game-changer. Also, the rubber duck idea made me laugh—but it actually worked??
One follow-up: How do you deal with *logical* errors vs syntax errors? Like when the code runs but does the wrong thing. Is that just practice, or are there tricks for that too?
(Also, pythontutor.com is magic. Ty!!)
