[Tutor] What does "TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable" mean?

[Eloy Zuniga Jr.]

One of your variables (e.g. unchanged_count, higher_count, lower_count,
secs) is an integer and your method expects a sequence (iterable) value.

Examples of iterable values:

   1. str
   2. unicode
   3. list
   4. tuple
   5. xrange and range
