Debugging can be challenging, especially when the issue is not obvious. AI can help by suggesting a structured approach to identify and fix the problem.

Step 1 – Describe the Problem

Provide a clear description of the issue.

Example:

The script runs but does not return any results. Include any relevant details such as error messages or expected behavior.

Step 2 – Ask for a Debugging Plan

Use a prompt like:

Give me a step-by-step debugging plan for this issue. This helps the AI generate a logical process to follow.

Step 3 – Follow the Steps

The AI may suggest steps such as:

• check input data
• add logging or print statements
• verify function outputs
• isolate parts of the code

This structured approach makes debugging easier.

Step 4 – Iterate if Needed

If the issue is not resolved, provide more details and ask for additional steps. Using AI for debugging guidance helps you stay organized and reduces trial-and-error.
