Code Refactoring, Debugging, and Optimization: A Practical Guide
This chapter focuses on employing LLMs for code refactoring, debugging, and optimization. This also involves interpreting error messages and explaining unfamiliar code blocks and what errors might arise from them. LLMs can assist with refactoring code for maintainability and readability. LLMs can be trained to recognize recurring issues in code. By the end of the chapter, you will be able to use ChatGPT for pair programming to help them understand code, as well as what causes bugs and how to fix them.
This chapter covers the following topics:
- Dealing with error codes – debugging
- Refactoring code
- Explaining code with ChatGPT
- Testing code
