Codebug

Codebug replaces scary error messages with digestible text-explanations of the error.

Demo

When pandas encounters an error, it spits out a massive red text.

1. Hard to discern the error message
2. Bold red text discourages coding beginners

Codebug solution

Codebug takes in the error message and returns a simple explanation of it.

1. Encourages student to understand the error
2. Clears up python misconceptions
3. Offers practical suggestions to fix buggy code

Codebug is powered by GPT-3.5 from OpenAI.

Explnation of Error

Requires basic understanding of try/except.

Try and Except:

try:
  block of code
except Exception as e:
