What are common type casting errors in Python?

Common type casting errors in Python include trying to convert a string that doesn't represent a number to an integer, or attempting to cast a list to a string directly.

Can you give me an example of a type casting error?

Sure! For instance, if you try to do int('abc'), it will raise a ValueError because 'abc' cannot be converted to an integer.

How can I handle these errors in my code?

You can handle type casting errors using try-except blocks. For example:

try:
    num = int(input('Enter a number: '))
except ValueError:
    print('Invalid input! Please enter a valid number.')

Are there any best practices to avoid these errors?

Yes! Always validate your input before casting, use functions like isinstance() to check types, and handle exceptions gracefully.
