Arrays Program Debugging

Question

I am having a problem with debugging my program, the instructor said you only need to turn on or off the lines by using "#" or the comment sign in order for the program works. It is all about simple array in python only. Please help thank you

numbers = [10,20,300,40.5,50]

#random indexing --> O(1) get items if we know the index !!!
print(numbers[4]);

numbers[1] = 'Adam';

print(numbers[1]);

for num in numbers:
    print(num);

for i in range(len(numbers)):
    print(numbers[i]);

print(numbers[:-2]);

#O(N) search running time
maximum = numbers[0];
for num in numbers:
    if num > maximum:
        maximum = num;

print(maximum);

comment out numbers[1] = 'Adam' so that you can do numerical comparison in the looping part.

Btw you don't need ";" in python

; is still a legal things in python. I see import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace so often.

you can use ; in python to put multiple statements in the same line. Adding it in the end of statements does nothing, but is not a syntax error either

Your program has error when 'Adam' compared with maximum. You must add checking if num not str, or you must add # to line: numbers[1] = 'Adam' to solve this problem
