Check your Python translation of AP CSP pseudocode

About this exercise

You translated an AP CSP pseudocode procedure into Python and want it checked, not rewritten. Ask for exactly 5 numbered lines, one per Python line in order, each '1. Match - pseudocode line 1' or '2. Mismatch - pseudocode line 2: what's different' with the difference under 15 words. No code blocks and no corrected code, under 90 words.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

• Getting a rewrite. The AI's default is to hand you the fixed Python, so you don't learn where it went wrong. Try: Say: "Check it, don't rewrite it. No corrected code."
• Vague verdicts. Without labels, the AI says 'mostly right' and you can't tell which line. Try: Add: "Label each line exactly Match or Mismatch."
• No pointer to the pseudocode. A verdict without the matching pseudocode line is hard to check. Try: Add: "Name the pseudocode line each one matches."
• A long lesson. The AI explains FOR EACH and range() at length. Try: Add: "Exactly 5 numbered lines, one per Python line."

What a strong prompt includes

• Asks for a check, not a rewrite
• Gives exact labels
• Asks for one line each
• Asks for the pseudocode line
• Caps each difference
