Avoid using x and y as variable names to prevent students from confusing variable assignments with mathematical expressions.
Reinforce that certain types in Python such as lists are mutable while others (e.g. strings, tuples) are not. Students have difficulty tracing code that uses mutable types because they often forget this.
Show students to separate the for-loop header from the for-loop content when discussing how many times a for-loop loops because students can get overwhelmed, but need to be able to separate the conditional from the loop’s content.
