Análise dos erros mais comuns de aprendizes de programação que utilizam a linguagem Python

Resumo

This paper presents an analysis of the user database of the on-line judge The Huxley, illustrating the most frequent run-time errors committed by the programming learners of the Python programming language. 143 types of errors were found distributed in 20 classes. The most common errors were of invalid syntax, when the student misuses some commands, such as if, for, while, input and prin} and forgets the token ':' of the conditional command if, variable declaration, when using an undeclared variable and type errors when operations are performed with different types of data. Knowing the most common errors makes it possible for teachers to emphasize them during their classes.
