Debugging: Finding It Yourself

The half of programming nobody teaches. You take one working program, break it nine ways, and find every fault by elimination rather than by staring at it. Ends with the kind of bug that raises no error at all.

Debugging: Finding It Yourself

Брифинг

Every beginner course stops at "and now it works". Then the learner goes home, changes one line, and has no method for what happens next. This segment is the method. One small program — a bill splitter, about twenty lines — gets broken repeatedly and you get it back. You will read a traceback properly instead of scrolling past it. You will cut a file in half with `exit()` and cut it in half again until two lines are left. You will comment out everything except one function and drive it directly. You will print a value raw, then stripped, then lowered, so you can see the transformation instead of reasoning about it. Then the gauntlet: missing colon, wrong quote characters, stray whitespace, indentation, `=` where you wanted `==`, a result you never stored, two functions with the same name, an input asked for twice, a `TypeError` on text that was never converted, and text glued together where you meant to add numbers. Six of those tell you something is wrong. The rest do not say a word, and those are the ones that reach other people.

  1. 01 Reading What It Already Told You
    3 уроков·1h 9m

    A traceback is read from the bottom. The last line is a sentence. The line number above it is where Python gave up, which is not always where you went wrong. Read it, then act. Guessing before…

  2. 02 Elimination, Not Inspiration
    3 уроков·1h 37m

    Real troubleshooting is elimination. You do not find the fault by thinking harder about the whole file; you find it by making the file smaller until there is nowhere left for it to hide.

  3. 03 The Gauntlet
    3 уроков·2h 35m

    One fix, one run. A file with four changes in it and a fresh error tells you nothing about which change caused what.

Binary, Hex and Data Units
Beginner Binary, Hex and Data Units The topic that costs more marks than any other on the paper, taught by hand. Bits and bytes, binary and hex in all six directions, the 1000-versus-1024 trap, file sizes, transmission times, overflow, two's complement and character sets. Every module ends in a timed drill marked the way an examiner marks it.
First Program — Scratch for ages 5–9
Beginner First Program — Scratch for ages 5–9 Nine Scratch blocks, three sessions of about twenty-five minutes, and one small program a child of five to nine builds themselves. Written for the parent sitting beside them: what to click, what they will get stuck on, what to say when it goes wrong, and when to keep your hands off the mouse.
AI без шумихи
Beginner AI без шумихи Что модель действительно делает, когда отвечает вам, почему это выглядит как мышление, почему она придумывает цитаты и механика стоимости, которую почти никто не объясняет: чат отправляет всю беседу заново на каждый ход. Вы произведёте расчёты сами.
Python с чистого листа
Beginner Python с чистого листа Точная последовательность, которую уже прошли девять студентов: от пустого файла к программе, которая задаёт вопросы, проверяет ответы и отклоняет неправильный ввод. Без опыта в программировании. Без математики. Вы будете её ломать намеренно.
IGCSE и GCSE Computer Science — теория, которую действительно оценивают
Intermediate IGCSE и GCSE Computer Science — теория, которую действительно оценивают Теоретическая часть экзамена, которую преподают так, чтобы она помогла на экзамене. Иерархия памяти и что на самом деле происходит при загрузке. Компиляторы, интерпретаторы и ассемблеры, включая ответ, который звучит правильно, но не даёт баллов. Базы данных: от электронных таблиц до ключей и нормализации. DNS и полный путь от нажатия Enter до появления страницы. Системное ПО и раздел об этике и праве, который даёт самые лёгкие десять баллов в работе.
Programming for the Exam — Python Answers That Score
Intermediate Programming for the Exam — Python Answers That Score The programming half of the paper, taught at exam pitch. Pseudocode translated both ways, because the mark scheme is written in a notation nobody practises. Trace tables done column by column, including the ones with a loop and a condition inside it. Linear and binary search, bubble and insertion sort, what each costs and the comparison questions boards love. Validation against verification, and the boundary test data everybody forgets. Procedures against functions, and a systematic method for finding your own error with four minutes left.
