Defines the different types of code-related tasks that can be performed.

public enum CodeTask

Fields

BugDetection = 4

Bug detection task - identifying potential errors and issues in code.

Bug detection analyzes code to find errors, vulnerabilities, and potential issues that could cause the program to fail or behave incorrectly.

For Beginners: Bug detection finds mistakes in code.

Like proofreading a document, this examines code to find errors before they cause problems. It can catch typos, logic errors, and security vulnerabilities.

BugFixing = 5

Bug fixing task - automatically repairing identified bugs in code.

Bug fixing not only identifies bugs but also suggests or automatically applies corrections to fix the identified issues.

For Beginners: Bug fixing automatically corrects errors in code.

After finding bugs, this goes a step further and actually fixes them, like spell-check that not only finds typos but corrects them too.

CloneDetection = 11

Clone detection task - identifying duplicate or similar code.

Clone detection finds instances of duplicated or highly similar code, which can indicate opportunities for refactoring or potential plagiarism.

For Beginners: Clone detection finds copied or repeated code.

It identifies places where the same or very similar code appears multiple times, which often means the code could be simplified by reusing one version.

CodeReview = 12

Code review task - analyzing code quality and suggesting improvements.

Code review evaluates code for quality, adherence to best practices, potential issues, and suggests improvements or changes.

For Beginners: Code review checks code quality and suggests improvements.

Like having an experienced programmer review your code, this examines your code for problems, style issues, and opportunities to make it better.

Completion = 0

Code completion task - suggesting how to complete partial code.

Code completion predicts and suggests the next tokens or statements based on the existing code context. Similar to autocomplete in text editors.

For Beginners: Code completion is like autocomplete for programming.

When you start typing code, the system suggests how to complete it, just like your phone suggests words when you're texting. This saves time and reduces errors.

Documentation = 9

Code documentation task - generating documentation for code.

Code documentation creates explanatory comments and documentation that describe what code does, how to use it, and important implementation details.

For Beginners: Documentation creates guides and explanations for code.

It generates comments, user guides, and API documentation that explain how to use the code. Like writing an instruction manual for a product.

Generation = 1

Code generation task - creating new code from specifications or descriptions.

Code generation creates complete code implementations from high-level descriptions, requirements, or examples. This can range from single functions to entire programs.

For Beginners: Code generation creates code from descriptions.

You describe what you want in plain English (or provide examples), and the system writes the code for you. Like asking a chef to make a dish from a description.

Refactoring = 6

Code refactoring task - improving code structure without changing functionality.

Code refactoring restructures existing code to improve readability, maintainability, or performance while preserving its external behavior.

For Beginners: Refactoring makes code better without changing what it does.

Like reorganizing a messy room - everything stays the same but becomes easier to find and use. Makes code cleaner, easier to understand, and easier to modify later.

Code search task - finding relevant code based on queries.

Code search finds relevant code snippets or functions based on natural language queries or code patterns, helping developers find reusable code.

For Beginners: Code search finds code that does what you need.

You describe what you're looking for (like "function to sort a list"), and it finds existing code that does that. Like a search engine for code.

Summarization = 3

Code summarization task - generating natural language descriptions of code.

Code summarization creates concise natural language descriptions that explain what a piece of code does, helping with documentation and code understanding.

For Beginners: Code summarization explains what code does in plain English.

It reads code and writes a human-readable description of what the code does, like creating a book summary from the full text.

TestGeneration = 8

Test generation task - automatically creating test cases for code.

Test generation creates test cases that verify the correctness of code by checking various inputs and expected outputs.

For Beginners: Test generation creates checks to verify code works correctly.

It automatically writes tests that check if your code does what it's supposed to do. Like creating a checklist to make sure all features of a product work correctly.

Translation = 2

Code translation task - converting code from one language to another.

Code translation transforms programs written in one programming language into equivalent programs in another language, preserving functionality.

For Beginners: Code translation converts code between languages.

Like translating a book from English to Spanish, this converts code from one programming language to another (like Python to Java) while keeping the same functionality.

Understanding = 7

Code understanding task - analyzing and comprehending code semantics.

Code understanding involves analyzing code to extract semantic information, identify patterns, understand control flow, and grasp the program's logic.

For Beginners: Code understanding means figuring out what code does.

This involves reading and analyzing code to understand its purpose, how it works, and what it accomplishes. Like reading comprehension for programming.

Remarks

This enumeration categorizes the various operations that can be performed on code, from understanding and generation to transformation and quality assurance.

For Beginners: These are different things you might want to do with code.

Just like you can do different things with text (read, write, translate, summarize), you can do different things with code. This enum lists all the code-related tasks the system can help with.
