AI-assisted algorithm debugging methods
Segmented diagnostics are recommended when encountering algorithmic logic problems:
- Description of symptoms: Start by submitting the full code with the statement "The program returns [incorrect result] when [specific value] is entered, when [correct result] should be expected."
- position analysis: Use commands such as "Please explain step-by-step how this sorting algorithm is executed" to get the AI to generate an execution trace.
- Modular Validation: Isolated validation of suspected problematic segments using the "test this recursive function alone" directive
- alternative: Get a comparison of different implementations with "Rewrite this Fibonacci calculation with dynamic programming".
A user case shows that the debugging of a bisection finding algorithm, which originally took 2 hours, can be localized and the boundary condition error solved in 20 minutes by this method.
