code sidekick-AI-powered coding assistant

Example

A user submits a Python script that raises a `TypeError`. Code Sidekick carefully analyzes the code, identifies the exact line causing the error, and explains that the error occurs due to an incompatible type passed into a function.

Scenario

A developer is working on a data processing script and encounters an error during runtime. They don't fully understand why the error occurs, so they use Code Sidekick to diagnose the issue. The assistant not only points out the problem but explains why the wrong data type was used and suggests a corrected version of the function.

Example

A user presents a JavaScript function that performs poorly on large datasets. Code Sidekick suggests refactoring the function to use a more efficient algorithm, reducing the time complexity from O(n^2) to O(n log n).

Scenario

An engineer is developing a web application that processes user data, but they notice that the function becomes slow with a large number of users. Code Sidekick recommends an alternative approach, demonstrating how using a sorting algorithm or restructuring loops can drastically improve performance.

Example

A student is learning recursion in Python and struggles to understand how recursive functions work. Code Sidekick provides a detailed step-by-step breakdown of how recursion operates, along with a simple example such as calculating the factorial of a number.

Scenario

A computer science student is confused about the concept of recursion and asks Code Sidekick for help. The assistant walks through the process of recursion, illustrating the function calls with diagrams and explanations. It also offers variations of the recursive function for the student to practice.
