# I worked on this challenge by myself
# I spent [#] hours on this challenge.

# This error was analyzed in the README file.

# def cartman_hates(thing)
#   while true
#     puts "What's there to hate about #{thing}?"
#   end
# end

# This is a tricky error. The line number may throw you off.

# 1. What is the name of the file with the error?
# error.rb
# 2. What is the line number where the error occurs?
# 17
# 3. What is the type of error message?
# syntax error
# 4. What additional information does the interpreter provide about this type of error?
# unexpected end-of-input, expecting keyword_end
# 5. Where is the error in the code?
# The method is missing an 'end' either on the line after the puts statement or after the end.
# 6. Why did the interpreter give you this error?
# When you create a method, you must close them out with an 'end'.  Both the cartman_hates and while methods need ends.

#south_park = 3



# 1. What is the line number where the error occurs?
#36
# 2. What is the type of error message?
# main error
# 3. What additional information does the interpreter provide about this type of error?
# undefined local variable or method `south_park' for main:Object (NameError)
# 4. Where is the error in the code?
# there is no assignment for the local variable south_park.
# 5. Why did the interpreter give you this error?
# Local variables need to be assigned a value. You could add a $ or @ to make it a global or instance variable.  Or you could assign it a value. Or you could and def and end to make it a method.

# def cartman()

# 1. What is the line number where the error occurs?
# 56
# 2. What is the type of error message?
# syntax error
# 3. What additional information does the interpreter provide about this type of error?
# unexpected end-of-input, expecting end of input
# 4. Where is the error in the code?
# It looks like the def was left off before the method name cartman.
# 5. Why did the interpreter give you this error?
# If you are creating a new method, you must tell ruby that by writing def before the method name.

# cartmans_phrase

# 1. What is the line number where the error occurs?
# 71
# 2. What is the type of error message?
# Argument Error
# 3. What additional information does the interpreter provide about this type of error?
# in `cartmans_phrase': wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)
# 4. Where is the error in the code?
# The cartmans_phrase method doesn't take a parameter as written. When it's being called on line 76, there are 3 parameters given.
# 5. Why did the interpreter give you this error?
# The number of parameters needs to be consistent between defining a method and calling it.  This could be fixed by adding 3 parameters to the definition, or removing the 3 words inside the ().

# cartman_says(1)

# 1. What is the line number where the error occurs?
# 91
# 2. What is the type of error message?
# argument error
# 3. What additional information does the interpreter provide about this type of error?
# in `cartman_says': wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)
# 4. Where is the error in the code?
# Same as the previous questions -- the method takes one argument but when it's called there is no argument.
# 5. Why did the interpreter give you this error?
# Ruby demands that the quantity of method arguments is consistent for a method.  Solve this issue by adding an argument to cartman_says online 95.

# 1. What is the line number where the error occurs?
#112
# 2. What is the type of error message?
# argument error
# 3. What additional information does the interpreter provide about this type of error?
# in `cartmans_lie': wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)
# 4. Where is the error in the code?
#  in side the () of one of the cartmans_lie methods.  They both need to have the same number of arguments.
# 5. Why did the interpreter give you this error?
#the method takes two arguments. When it's called on 116 there is only 1 argument. It works if you add a name as a 2nd argument.

# 2. What is the type of error message?

# 4. Where is the error in the code?

# 5. Why did the interpreter give you this error?
#  You cannot multiply an integer by a string.  You can, however, multiply a string by an integer.

# --- REFLECTION -------------------------------------------------------
#
### Which error was the most difficult to read?
# They all had about the same difficulty. I had to look up require_relative, so that was probably the hardest.
#### How did you figure out what the issue with the error was?
#A combination of reading the error message and then visually looking at the code for errors based on what we've learned so far.
### Were you able to determine why each error message happened based on the code?
#Yes, I was able to fix every error.
# When you encounter errors in your future code, what process will you follow to help you debug?
# The same used here. Read the error message. See if I can spot it. If not, start looking things up.
