Tirsvad 5af3a58578 Add day 13 debugging exercises and README
Add src/main.py with the six debugging exercises (describe the problem,
reproduce the bug, play computer, fix the errors, print is your friend,
use a debugger), each with its fix noted. Document them in the README.

# 013-debugging
Day 13 of Udemy's *100 Days of Code: Python Pro Bootcamp*: finding and fixing
bugs in Python code.
All exercises live in [`src/main.py`](src/main.py), each commented out with the
fix noted beside it. Uncomment one at a time to run it.
## Exercises
| Exercise | Bug | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Describe the Problem | `range(1, 20)` never reaches 20, because the upper bound is excluded | Use `range(1, 21)` |
| Reproduce the Bug | `dice_imgs[dice_num]` raises `IndexError` when the roll is 6 | Index with `dice_num - 1` |
| Play Computer | A birth year of exactly 1994 matches no branch | Use `>=` in the `elif` |
| Fix the Errors | `input()` returns a string, so `age > 18` fails; the `print` is not indented | Convert with `int()`; indent the `print` |
| Print is Your Friend | `==` compares instead of assigning, so `word_per_page` stays 0 | Use `=` |
| Use a Debugger | `b_list.append(new_item)` sits outside the loop, so only the last item is kept | Indent it into the loop |
## Debugging approach
1. Describe the problem in your own words.
2. Reproduce the bug.
3. Play computer: step through the code by hand.
4. Fix the errors the interpreter reports.
5. Use `print()` to inspect values.
6. Use a debugger to step through execution.
## Running
Requires Python 3.
```bash
python src/main.py
```

# Describe Problem
# Answer: Range never reach 20 as range don't include 20. Only up to
# def my_function():
# for i in range(1, 20):
# if i == 20:
# print("You got it")
# my_function()
# # Reproduce the Bug
# from random import randint
# dice_imgs = ["❶", "❷", "❸", "❹", "❺", "❻"]
# dice_num = randint(1, 6)
# # print(dice_imgs[dice_num]) # list index out of range
# print(dice_imgs[dice_num - 1]) # The corrected code
# # Play Computer
# year = int(input("What's your year of birth?"))
# if year > 1980 and year < 1994:
# print("You are a millenial.")
# # elif year > 1994:
# elif year >= 1994: # Answer corrected code (other solution, change the other if line)
# print("You are a Gen Z.")
# # Fix the Errors
# # age = input("How old are you?")
# age = int(input("How old are you?")) # Answer: convert input to int
# if age > 18:
# print("You can drive at age {age}.")
# #Print is Your Friend
# pages = 0
# word_per_page = 0
# pages = int(input("Number of pages: "))
# # word_per_page == int(input("Number of words per page: "))
# word_per_page = int(input("Number of words per page: ")) # Answer
# total_words = pages * word_per_page
# print(total_words)
# # Use a Debugger
# def mutate(a_list):
# b_list = []
# for item in a_list:
# new_item = item * 2
# b_list.append(new_item) # Answer: indent code
# # b_list.append(new_item)
# print(b_list)
#
#
# mutate([1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13])
