Which type of error will occur if you attempt to divide a number by another that is not a number?

The correct type of error that will occur when attempting to divide a number by something that is not a number is a TypeError. This error arises in Python when an operation or function is applied to an object of inappropriate type. In this case, division expects numerical values (either integers or floats); if you provide a non-numeric type—like a string or a list—Python will raise a TypeError since it cannot interpret that type in the context of arithmetic operations.

For example, trying to perform 5 / "two" would generate a TypeError because the string "two" cannot be used in division with the integer 5. The TypeError specifically indicates that there has been an attempt to use a value in an operation that is incompatible with its data type. Understanding this helps in debugging and ensures you handle different data types appropriately in your code.
