Misconception: Students think that arrays start at 1 instead of 0.

Misconception: Students often have off by 1 errors when working with loops, which can result from mixing up > and >= as well as forgetting that arrays start at index 0.

Misconception: Students have trouble understanding that when the value of a variable is reassigned its previous value is irrelevant.

Have students play the Gidget debugging game for practice debugging in an engaging environment.
