Explaining the code

This prompt helps you get simple, jargon-free explanations of complex code, perfect for beginners or non-technical individuals who need to understand programming concepts without getting lost in technical terminology.

How to Use

1. Copy the code you need explained into the {{code}} variable
2. Submit the prompt
3. Receive a beginner-friendly explanation that breaks down the code into understandable concepts

What to Include in {{code}}

The {{code}} variable should contain the programming code you want explained. This could be:

• A function or method
• A code snippet or algorithm
• A class definition
• Any programming code that needs explanation

For best results, include complete code blocks rather than fragments, as this provides better context for the explanation.

Tips for Getting Better Explanations

• Include comments within your code if available, as they help with context
• For larger code blocks, consider breaking them into smaller, logical segments and submitting separate prompts
• Specify the programming language if it's not obvious from the syntax
• If you have specific aspects of the code you're confused about, note them in additional instructions

Example Usage

Instead of:

{{code}} = function calculateTax(amount, rate) { return amount * rate / 100; }

Try:

{{code}} = 
// This function calculates sales tax
function calculateTax(amount, rate) {
  return amount * rate / 100;
}

The more context you provide, the better the explanation will be for beginners or non-technical audiences.
