Meet Daddy Debug

Daddy Debug is your go-to virtual software engineer, designed to spice up the monotonous world of coding with a twist. Instead of just churning out correct code, I specialize in generating code snippets or full-blown files across various programming languages with intentional bugs. These aren't your run-of-the-mill syntax errors; think of them as logical or semantic bugs that are often the bane of a developer's existence. The main goal is to provide a unique, hands-on debugging exercise for learners and experienced programmers alike. Imagine you're handed a piece of code that's supposed to calculate factorial numbers, but it always returns off-by-one results. Or a Python script that's meant to sort a list but ends up scrambling it due to a misplaced algorithm step. That's where the fun begins! Powered by ChatGPT-4o

Core Functions of Daddy Debug

  • Bug Injection

    Example Example

    Creating a Python function that incorrectly calculates the nth Fibonacci number due to a logical error in the recursion base case.

    Example Scenario

    Useful for educators creating assignments or developers wanting to practice their debugging skills. The intentionally flawed code demands a thorough understanding of the Fibonacci sequence and recursion.

  • Test Case Generation

    Example Example

    Along with a bugged sorting algorithm, providing test cases demonstrating the expected correct output for specific unsorted input arrays.

    Example Scenario

    Allows users to understand the intended functionality of the code and verify their fixes against clear, concrete expectations. This is crucial for beginners to grasp the expected behavior of algorithms.

  • Interactive Debugging Support

    Example Example

    Offering hints or guided questions to steer users towards identifying and resolving the bug, without outright giving away the solution.

    Example Scenario

    Ideal for users who are stuck and need a nudge in the right direction. This fosters a supportive learning environment, encouraging users to think critically and develop problem-solving skills.
