1) What was one thing you learned about coding today?
I learned how to use a debugger to step through code line-by-line and inspect variables, which made it much easier to see why a function was returning the wrong result.
2) What challenge did you face, and how did you work through it?
I hit a bug where my loop produced the wrong output because of an off-by-one error and a variable that wasn’t being reset. I worked through it by adding strategic print statements, stepping through the code with the debugger, writing a small unit test that reproduced the bug, and then fixing the loop bounds and resetting the variable in the right place.
3) Which part of today’s activity did you enjoy the most, and why?
I enjoyed finally getting the program to produce the expected output after tracking down the bug. It felt satisfying to connect the abstract logic to concrete behavior and see immediate feedback from the fix.
4) How did coding today make you think differently about technology?
It made me appreciate how many small, precise details underlie even simple features in software — and how testing and debugging are as important as writing the initial code. I’m starting to think more about edge cases and how a tiny mistake can cascade into larger problems.
5) What is one coding skill or idea you’d like to learn more about?
I’d like to learn more about writing automated unit tests and test-driven development so I can catch bugs earlier and feel more confident changing code without breaking things.
