3 Quick Tips to Reduce Coding Bugs

Here’s how you eliminate bugs from your program... YOU DON’T! You just turn them into features. *slaps knee* That joke never gets old. I created a 3 step process that helps me eliminate bugs BEFORE testing and debugging.

1. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧

Learn and understand why you've had certain bugs in the past. I document errors that were difficult to resolve. Learning from your mistakes can help prevent bugs in the future.

2. 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩

Develop a code that’s clear and concise. This includes simplifying names, comments, and formats. Remember the simpler, the better.

3. 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭

Repeat available libraries. Use libraries that have been tested as bug-free. “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘦; 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘦.”
