Development related coding questions

👩‍💻 Technical question

What does console.log mean in JavaScript?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.95 seconds

console.log is a function in JavaScript that you can use to print messages or values to the console. This is helpful for debugging your code or checking the output of variables during development.

Here's a simple example:

javascript
Copy code
let greeting = "Hello, World!"; console.log(greeting);

In this example, when you run the code, it will display Hello, World! in the console. You can use console.log to display numbers, strings, and even objects or arrays.

For more details, you can check out the MDN Web Docs on console.log.

In web development, a footer is a section located at the bottom of a webpage that usually contains information such as copyright notice, contact details, and links. In HTML, you can create a footer using the <footer> element. Here's an example of how to use a footer in HTML:

html
Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My webpage</title> </head> <body> <p>Hello, world!</p> <!-- other content --> <footer> <p>&copy; 2021 My Company, Inc.</p> <p>Contact us at info@mycompany.com</p> </footer> </body> </html>

In this example, I've created a footer using the <footer> element and included some information inside two <p> elements. This is just an example, you can customize your footer with your own content and styles.

👩‍💻 Technical question

Is C++ better than Python?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 12.44 seconds

The question of which programming language is better, C++ or Python, is subjective and depends on the type of project. Each language has its advantages and disadvantages. Python is considered to be easier and faster to write, while C++ is considered to have better performance. However, C++ requires more time and effort in development while Python is recognized as a more intuitive language. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide which language works best for your project and goals.

👩‍💻 Technical question

Which programming language should I learn?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.13 seconds

That depends on the type of development you'd like to pursue. JavaScript is a versatile language used in web development, making it a great language to start with. Python is a great language for data science and machine learning while Java is good for enterprise applications. Ultimately it'll come down to personal preference and goals.

👩‍💻 Technical question

what is smoke test?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.33 seconds

A smoke test is a type of software testing that determines whether the most crucial functions of a program are working correctly. It is sometimes referred to as a "Build Verification Test (BVT)". Smoke tests are typically used in development before any further testing is done.

👩‍💻 Technical question

What is angular?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.33 seconds

Angular is an open-source web development framework used for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It is written in TypeScript and based on the component-based architecture developed by Google. Angular components are a subset of Directives and are used to extend the HTML attributes by adding the component-specific behavior to them.

👩‍💻 Technical question

What's an IDE?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.58 seconds

An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a program that combines all the tools that developers need to work with software code, like compilers, editors, and debuggers. It usually provides features such as syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and debugging capabilities that make programming easier and faster. Examples of popular IDEs include Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, and IntelliJ.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.

SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯

SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?

Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!

SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.

For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃

You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.

Here are some examples:

- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?

- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?

- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]

For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.

In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!

Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪

Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.

- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).

- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.

- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃

Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.

Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩‍💻🤝💻
