Homework 1 Fundamentals
1. Debugging

Look at the following code – there are 3 errors.

weightOne = float(input(“Enter the weight of box 1: ”))


weightTwo = float(input(“Enter the weight of box 2: ”))
if weightOne > weightTwo:
print(“Box 1 is lighter”)
elif weightOne < weightTwo:
Print(“Box 2 is lighter”)
else:
print(“The two boxes weigh the same)

Identify each error, state whether it is a logic or syntax error and explain how to fix it. [6]
