The max() function is built into Python and returns the item with the highest value in an iterable or the item with the highest value from two or more objects of the same type. When you pass an iterable to the max() function, such as a list, it must have at least one...

If you define an array and try to index it with more dimensions than the array has, you will raise the error: IndexError: too many indices for array. You need to recheck the array's dimensions and index it with those dimensions to solve this error. This tutorial will...

When you want to access a value inside a list, you must use an index value in the range of the list. Using an index value out of range will raise the error: IndexError: list index out of range. You can solve this index error by using the range function on the length...

The Python map() function applies a function on all items in an input iterable object. The iterable object can be a list, a tuple, a set, dictionary or a string. The map() function returns an iterable map object, which you will have to iterate over using a for loop or...

In Python, you can unpack iterable objects and assign their elements to multiple variables in the order that they appear. If you try to unpack a NoneType object, you will throw the error TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object. A NoneType object is not a...

The join() takes all items in an iterable and joins them into one string. If you attempt to pass a non-iterable object to the join() method, you will raise the error: Python TypeError: can only join an iterable. You can solve this by ensuring that you do not assign...

If you try to index a Python list with an array of integer values you will raise the error: TypeError: only integer scalar arrays can be converted to a scalar index. You can only index an ordinary Python list with single integer values. If you want to use an array of...
