<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>

```

padding: 0;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
nav li {
margin-right: 20px;
}
nav a {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
transition: color 0.2s ease; /* Add hover effect transition */
}
nav a:hover {
color: #ccc; /* Change text color on hover */
}
nav a::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 2px;
background-color: #ccc;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
transform: scaleX(0);

}
```
**Instructions:**
1. Create a new HTML file and add the HTML code to it.
2. Create a new CSS file and add the CSS code to it.
3. Link the CSS file to the HTML file by adding the following code to the `<head>` section of the HTML file: `<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">`
4. Open the HTML file in a web browser to see the navigation bar with a hover effect.
**Changes and Improvements:**
* Improved code organization and formatting for better readability.
* Added a hover effect to the navigation bar using CSS transitions.
* Used a more modern and flexible layout using Flexbox instead of traditional float-based layouts.
* Added a separator line below the navigation bar using the `::before` pseudo-element.
**Error Handling:**
This code does not contain any error-prone sections, but you can add error handling to the CSS file by using a preprocessor like Sass or Less, which can help catch syntax errors and warnings.
**Tools and Frameworks:**
* Any code editor or IDE (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, Atom)
* Any web browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge)
**Testing and Debugging:**
* Test the code by opening the HTML file in a web browser and checking the navigation bar's appearance and hover effect.
* Use the browser's developer tools (e.g., Chrome DevTools, Firefox Developer Edition) to inspect the HTML and CSS code, and debug any issues that arise.
