    Wrong line commented out

    …result before giving the "go". Yesterday a developer was debugging it and left it in a mess: a real check is switched off with a # , and a debug line that should never reach the launch director is…

    Logging instead of print

    The tank check is full of prints left over from debugging. Replace them with logging calls at the right levels, so debug records stay hidden until switched on, then give the fuel code its own named…

    Flight software review

    A 40-line pre-burn check has five bugs: a syntax error, a type error, a wrong key, an index out of range and a reversed decision. Read each error to fix the four that crash, then find the one that…

    Launch counter crash

    record_launch() adds 1 to a global counter and stops with an UnboundLocalError. Predict it, find out why Python treats the name as local, fix it by passing the count in and returning the new one, then…

    Shadowed fuel

    refuel() assigns to fuel_kg inside the function, creating a local variable and leaving the global fuel unchanged. Predict the last line, compare both values, fix it by returning the total, then write…

    Shared default list

    add_sample(sample, log=[]) remembers samples from earlier calls, because the default list is created once and shared. Predict it, prove the calls share one list, fix it with None as the default, then…
