[SOLVED]Ex23 What is error variable for here?

Hello, I wanted to ask what is error variable here for?

Capture

What does it do and what if I do not enter it?

Take a look at the codec docs. https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs

In Zed’s script, it’s called out as a variable that gets unpacked from the command line so if you don’t include an error type when you run the script, Python will complain.

Why not try it out and see what happens…

Okay, thanks a lot! I will read the documentation now
