I'm working on a series of "How to Write Code to Solve a Problem, A Beginner's Guide" articles to cover the bits learners seem to have the most problems with*. So fare I've covered the "break the problem into smaller pieces" approach to getting started, and syntax errors.

And the next one is a biggie: Debugging.
And there is my problem. To show how to debug something I need to write some short-ish code with a small, subtle bug in it, prove it has a bug, and then show how to fix it.
But ... have you ever tried to deliberately write code with a bug in? It's not as simple as I thought it would be ... In fact, I'm finding it a lot harder to write buggy code than I do to write good code! Laugh | :laugh:


* Other than being told "no, I won't do your homework for you" of course. Or maybe I should write one of those ... Hmmm.
