Code Analysis
ExplainThis provides powerful code analysis capabilities to help you understand code better. Our analysis engine breaks down code into digestible explanations while maintaining technical accuracy.
Analysis Modes
Standard Mode
The default analysis mode provides a balanced explanation of your code, covering functionality, structure, and important implementation details. Perfect for developers who want a comprehensive understanding.
// Example code
function calculateTotal(items) {
return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
}This function calculates the total price of items in a shopping cart. It uses the reduce method to iterate through the items array, accumulating the sum of item prices, starting from 0.
Beginner Mode
Designed for those learning to code or working with unfamiliar languages. Provides step-by-step explanations with additional context about language features and programming concepts.
Performance Mode
Focuses on performance implications of the code, including time complexity, memory usage, and optimization opportunities. Ideal for performance-critical applications.
Security Mode
Analyzes code for potential security vulnerabilities, following best practices and common security patterns. Essential for applications handling sensitive data.
