🎯 Use Case: Quickly identify and fix code errors

This prompt is specifically designed to help you quickly identify and fix code errors. Whether you're debugging JavaScript runtime errors, Python syntax issues, or complex logic bugs in any programming language, this prompt streamlines your debugging workflow.

Example Input:

function calculateTotal(items) {
  let total = 0
  for (let i = 0; i <= items.length; i++) {
    total += items[i].price
  }
  return total
}

ChatGPT Response: "The bug is an off-by-one error. The loop condition should be i < items.length instead of i <= items.length. When i equals items.length, items[i] is undefined, causing a TypeError."

💡 Why This Prompt Works

This prompt is optimized for ChatGPT's code analysis capabilities. By asking for both identification AND explanation, you get actionable insights rather than just error messages.
