Welcome to Debug Challenge (name could be improved)!
Here, you can debug a daily code block, intentionally bugged to see if anyone can find the error!
Whoever gets each one first will get a…

For today's challenge, we're starting simple.
There are 4 errors in the following code:

(#5)it's ok, maybe you could still give it your best guessbruh I think advanced topics is dead, it's been on the front page for 4 days yet nobody postedI would try, but I don't know Python all that well.

Here are the four errors in the code:
Error in the while loop condition: The condition number < 1 and not number < 1 will always be false since the two conditions are mutually exclusive.
Error in the print function: The function string() should be replaced with str().
Indentation error: The if negative: block is not properly indented.
Logical error regarding the negative variable: The check for negative should logically be moved to the beginning to stop execution if number is negative.
Error in the while loop condition: The condition number < 1 and not number < 1 will always be false since the two conditions are mutually exclusive.
Error in the print function: The function string() should be replaced with str().
Indentation error: The if negative: block is not properly indented.
Logical error regarding the negative variable: The check for negative should logically be moved to the beginning to stop execution if number is negative.

Well, they are mostly right, and the string instead of str errors are actually two, since there's two strs. The last one is just a random one the AI comes up with to meet the 4 error request.
The answer is technically correct, but you dont get the tokens since you used AI.

(#2)
For today's challenge, we're starting simple.
There are 4 errors in the following code:number = int(input("Type a random whole number\n")) counter = 0 #here: 0 is not negative but this would say it is if number < 1: negative = True else: negative = False # this condition can never be true while number < 1 and not number < 1: if number % 2 == 0: number /= 2 else: number *= 3 number += 1 counter += 1 # you should use str() instead of string() which doesn't exist print("The result is " + string(round(number)) + " in iteration " + string(counter)) if negative: #needs to be indented print("Number can not be negative.") else: print("4-2-1 loop has been detected. Program stopped.")

Nice job! You got it right! The 0 isn't negative thing is true, but it doesn't matter since the Collatz Conjecture only supports positive integers above 0… But you still get the coin!(#2)

I'll come up with a new one in a bit

Everyone knows how “powerful” AI is, it was trained on tons of code and language. However, it doesn't seem like that's the case since you never mentioned it being AI or credited AI, you just posted the AI's response here with no extra context or elaboration…
