Yeah, that's a typo. Thanks for pointing it out.

@wupeifan thanks for the update!

While we're at it, there seems to be another typo in that same notebook: lines 407-408 in the source blob read:

"In this case, because the conditional for the if statement was not\n",
"True, the if code block was not executed, but the else block was.\n",

but note that the 'if' conditional (val is False) must be True, since we have defined val to be the boolean 2 == 4. Indeed, when the code is run, its output prints the 'if' code block, but not the 'else' code block.

good catch. are there any more of those? so i don't have to update every time. thanks

There are a couple of other corrections to be made in this particular section.

1. In Exercise 5, the markdown cell says r = 0.05 and w_hs = 40_000, but the code cell says r = 1.05 and w_hs = 35_000. While the discount rate in the code seems to be a typo, the choice of w_hs is more subtle: I solved for both values, and w_hs = 40_000 would imply that the student shouldn't enroll in college, whereas w_hs = 35_000 would imply that they should.

2. It's not clear what exactly is meant by x in Exercises 8 and 9, since no array-like object with that name was defined in this lecture.

For now, those are all of my suggestions, though I have yet to read the other lectures in the next few days. Is it OK if I open another issue or point out more typos (if any exist) in the other lectures as well?

I think I fixed those two things in an earlier version. It must be I overrode some of them by accident.
Thanks for pointing out these typos.
