When the Python interpreter does not understand a statement, it throws a traceback message. Python's traceback messages provide a wealth of information to help us diagnose and fix our code. Understanding these traceback messages is essential. Regardless of how long each of us have been programming in Python, we will always get traceback messages. Do not panic when you receive a traceback message. Simply read the message and fix your code accordingly.
