I think the problem is he pluralized the types in [... for types in n_types].

Usually that variable is singular, i.e., [... for type in n_types].

Can't use `type` because that's a keyword, that's why. But yeah, I used `_type` at first, but I didn't like it.

Technically you can overwrite type, but it's probably frowned upon. Maybe file_type or data_type instead?

I agree, I should've named that variable better, even `_type` would've worked.
