Syntax Error Fixing Examples

Simply ask the AI in chat to fix syntax errors and get interactive suggestions:

# Before: Missing closing parenthesis
print("Hello world"

# After AI fix suggestion:
print("Hello world")

// Before: Missing semicolon
const name = "John"
console.log(name)

// After AI fix suggestion:
const name = "John";
console.log(name);

// Before: Missing brace
public void hello() {
    System.out.println("Hello")

// After AI fix suggestion:
public void hello() {
    System.out.println("Hello");
}

How it works:

1. Type "fix syntax errors" in the AI chat
2. AI analyzes your code and detects syntax issues
3. Get an interactive fix suggestion with preview
4. Click "Apply Fix" to fix instantly, or "Undo" to revert

Code Generation Examples

# Create a function to validate email addresses with regex
# → AI generates complete email validation function

// Generate a REST API endpoint for user authentication
# → AI creates Express.js route with error handling

// Implement singleton pattern for database connection
// → AI generates thread-safe singleton class
