Tips & notes

### Match errors to languages in seconds

When a crash lands in an unfamiliar language, the first two words often give it away. The ErrorFix Language Cheat Sheet groups common errors by their leading keywords, so you can diagnose without digging through docs.

**Example:**

| Error Prefix | Language | Quick Check |
|--------------|----------|-------------|
| `IndentationError` | Python | Whitespace mismatch or tab/space mix |
| `SyntaxError: Unexpected token` | JavaScript | Missing `}`, `)`, or `;` |
| `NameError` | Python / Ruby | Undefined variable; check spelling & scope |
| `UnhandledPromiseRejection` | JavaScript | `.then()`/`catch` missing on async flow |

Print or pin the table to your terminal. When you spot the prefix, you already know which part of the syntax to inspect—no guessing, no searching.

Practical Error Fix: Missing Closing Brace

If a JavaScript function won't run and you see Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }, the usual cause is a mismatched brace—or a missing opening { earlier in the block.

Quick check: Indent the suspect function one level deeper. If the error moves, you’ve found the mismatch.
