JAVAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[babadoctor]

Some jerk friend that i have asked me to debug his shitty java code that he made

 

we are best friends so naturally i could not decline (I owed him one)

 

He said it was a little bad but i said how bad could it be? I almost had a heart attack...

 

its so bad it hurts my eyes to look at it

 

anyone have any tips in java debugging?

 

and so my descent into madness beings...

_{god help me}

just copy and past it into eclipse to tell you everything that is wrong.

I thought java had the bugs built in /s

 

Eclipse would be helpful

I copy and pasted it into eclipse...

then broke

then uninstalled itself

but seriously its not syntax errors its errors within the code

Apparently that's what unit tests are for, for isolating the locations of the problems. I have no idea how they work since I've never used them, but JUnit seems to be a popular tool to help you build them. 

 

There's no substitute for reading through the code thoroughly, though, to find flaws in logic.

So for instance your friend wanted to ad 1 plus 2 but instead put a 7 for the 1, so the code runs it just doesn't do anything correctly, is what I think you mean

You didn't provide us much to go on.

 

Use a debugger. Set breakpoints around where the problem is happening. Note that you can set conditions on breakpoints which can be very useful. Step through the code line by line if need be. Watch variables, find where they start storing invalid data.

And don't use Eclipse for Java, use IntelliJ instead.
