#Find The Bug#
Find The Bug is a programming puzzle that will be published, hopefully, on a weekly basis. The aims of each puzzle are as follows:
- To present problematic code that encapsulates a real-world problem and thus could feasibly be mistakenly written by real people.
- To be clear and well-readable. The challenge should come from trying to construct the program flow in your head to find the error, not from trying to decode hard-to-read code.
- To fit the entire puzzle on one screen, so that it's easy to visualize the entirety of the puzzle.
- To not use obscure libraries to create the problem - only language-level or enormously popular libraries.
Half the challenge is figuring out what input will produce the bug, so you should consider finding the bug by writing tests (i.e. brute-forcing inputs) to be cheating. All solutions are explained and included in a separate folder anyway.
Inspiration is taken from the weekly chess puzzles (i.e. "Find checkmate for black in 3 moves") that were published in newspapers when I was growing up. Happy solving!
