Tracebacks can be intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of them, they’re gold.

The key is to focus on the last line—that’s the error type and message. Then scan upward for the file and line number. That’s in python what tells you where error occurred.

For more complex bugs, logging or `pdb` (Python’s debugger) can help trace execution step-by-step.
