Challenge
An operator types 42,5 and float() crashes with a ValueError. Predict it, find out why, accept both commas and dots with replace(), then read pressures written like 1 013,25.
Example
Combining regular parameters, *args and **kwargs in one function.
Challenge
Write parse_command(), which turns typed commands such as burn 12.5 or set mode safe into tuples and raises ValueError with a reason for anything malformed, then run a whole batch of commands and…
Challenge
The burn length is typed in by hand, and a typo stops the program with a ValueError. Catch it with try and except, keep asking until the input is a number, then also turn away zero and negative…
Challenge
int() cuts the decimals off, round() rounds, and round(2.5) gives 2. Predict the difference, investigate Python's rounding rule, then round a fuel reading two ways.

…whole items rather than parts of text, then normalise IDs typed by hand and print a clear cleared or not-cleared message.
Challenge
…anything else, then handle empty input and show what was typed.
