Common Mistakes

general debugging hints

• adding asserts to your code can help you to ensure that values are what you expect them to be at all times

• write your code modularly: use submethods for any non-trivial repeated or similar code.
• write unit tests for each of the submethods written

• separate complicated computations into smaller pieces which can then be asserted on.

• try to find out where the time is going, are some methods being called more often than you expect them to? do they take longer to execute than expected?
