Does anyone think that code playground should have debugging features?

Question

If only people know how to debug,they would half of the time stop asking "why and how is this happening" questions on Q&A forum.

Answer 1

Home Number - I couldn't help getting that impression as I read the Description : )

Most SoloLearn users are learners and beginners, it was expected to see simple questions, what one finds easy may not be as easy for others however. There could be other factors to consider too (e.g. language barrier).

I think prevention measures should be taught as well, such that we don't need to rely on tools (debugger) to find what we do wrong in our code, at least to some extent. A careful code review + a clear mind usually helps for simple problems. Debugger needs is crucial for serious/large projects, for small ones we can train ourselves to have an eagle's eyes to watch out for syntax error, and train our analysis skills with the logics correctness.

About servers and financial state/situation, of course only their team really knows what and how. My opinion was concluded from daily experience with network connection issue, failure to save codes, write comments and answers etc.

Answer 2

Remembering how SoloLearn server performs these days IMO adding a debugger feature is not a wise choice, it will only add more to what already was a heavy load for the server.

Also, asking "why and how this happens" is not a problem, asking people to do one's homework is a different case, it is good to ask when we don't understand something, better than to keep quiet and never get it through in the end. It is part of learning, and actually it shows a will to learn and understand : )

Answer 3

yes, raise this issue to SOLOLEARN officials

Answer 4

Ipang .No one is against asking here.one should ask others when they are really not understanding.most of the questions I see are very simple and can be learned from the Solo learn courses itself.what I think is ,when one knows how to solve their own problems, they tend to learn more than just knowing answers.
Servers aren't an issue for a company like Solo learn who have around half million users.Companies,when they start growing,they expand their resources too.so server is not a problem in anyway.
