Why do i get this error? Help me 
This error might be as a result of having instances of integers and strings. Do a double check on your data to see where there may be strings.
i suggest you put each line of code in a separate cell and run each individually before proceeding to the next line of code in another cell.
in this particular case, i suggest you first run the code for min and max year and print it and check if you’re getting the correct value.
The error is due to “Chapter 8: extracting the year”
The second instruction in chapter says " 2. Print the first few rows of data to confirm that you executed the task correctly."
Here you may have added something like below to get few rows from data list:
for row in data[:3]:
year = fetch_year(row[0])
row[0] = year
print (row[:-2])
Remove this limitation as below, this is how I resolved this exact same error.
Fix:
for row in data:
year = fetch_year(row[0])
row[0] = year
print (row[:-2])
Now run the code from line 1.
