[Tutor] Novice programming errors

[Jonathan Hayward]

To the beginners and people like Danny Yoo who answer a lot of questions...

I'm doing some research and would like to get a feel for common novice 
errors. I'm interested both in syntax errors that cause compilation 
errors, and things like division by zero or key errors. To new 
programmers especially, could you give me specific examples of errors 
you've struggled with?

Many thanks,
