﻿# Challenge: can you spot an error in C\+\+ code?

PVS\-Studio developers made an entertaining quiz for you\. Try to quickly find a bug in a code fragment\. If you spot an error \- click on it\.

Code analyzers restlessly search for errors\. They can find even those that are hard to notice\. We chose several code fragments in which PVS\-Studio found errors\. All fragments are from [open\-source projects](https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/inspections/)\.

We encourage you to compete with our analyzer and find these errors yourself\! You'll see ten code fragments\. If you manage to find an error in under 1 minute, you score one point\.

The 1\-minute limit is made on purpose\. Otherwise you'll definitely find all errors — code fragments are short\. Anyway, treat this quiz as a game, and not as a real test of your programming skills :\)

When you find an error, highlight it with a mouse, and click "Answer"\. Sometimes there are several places in code with an error\. You can highlight any of them and the answer will be correct\. I'll explain it with an example\.

```cpp
case FuriHalSubGhzPreset2FSKDev476Async:
  preset_name = "FuriHalSubGhzPreset2FSKDev476Async";
  break;
  FURI_LOG_E(SUBGHZ_PARSER_TAG, "Unknown preset");
default:
```

This code fragment is taken from the FlipperZero project\. The PVS\-Studio analyzer warns us that part of the code is never executed: V779 \[CWE\-561, CERT\-MSC12\-C\] Unreachable code detected\. It is possible that an error is present\. subghz\_i\.c 44

The developer was probably in a rush and used a logging macro after the _break_ operator\. Or this is a result of unsuccessful refactoring\. Anyway, the error here is obvious\. But what should we highlight?

On the one hand, we can choose the _break_ operator as an answer\. It's before the _FURI\_LOG\_E_ and breaks the _switch_ operator execution\. So, the problem's here\.

On the other hand, we can choose the logging macro\. This is the unreachable code\.

Which is the correct answer then? This is easy\. In this case, whatever we highlight — the _break_ operator or the _FURI\_LOG\_E_ macro — will be the correct answer\.

Now I think the rules are clear\. Good luck: [play the quiz](https://quiz.pvs-studio.com/en/cpp/)\.

Don't forget to share this quiz with your teammates\! Have fun, and we wish you bugless code\!
