Runtime Error

What This Error Means

This error occurs when a developer tries to access an attribute or method that does not exist for an object, or when the object is not of the expected type.

Why It Happens

This error typically happens when there is a mismatch between the expected type of an object and its actual type, or when an object's attributes or methods are not defined.

How to Fix It

1. 1To fix this error, you need to ensure that the object you are accessing is of the correct type and has the expected attributes or methods. You can do this by checking the object's type before trying to access its attributes or methods, and by using the `hasattr()` function to check if an attribute exists.

Example Code Solution

def process_image(image):
