WHAT TO HAVE READY

Code snippet and language.

YOUR STARTING POINT

A task you can make yours.

Copy it here. Paste it into WebAct when you are ready.

This page prepares your prompt. The task runs in WebAct.

01

Make the task yours.

Review the prompt above. Add your goal and any requirements that matter.

02

Bring it to WebAct.

Open WebAct, paste the task and provide your source material. Start in Chat for a draft or explanation; use Task when you want an approved browser action or file.

03

Check the useful part.

Check formulas, code and calculations against known inputs in the appropriate runtime. Review actions before execution and keep the original data available.

A PRACTICAL GUIDE

How to use the Code Explainer.

Explain code at the level needed for the task. Include inputs, output and assumptions, and distinguish intended behavior from behavior actually shown.

Make the workflow fit your task.

Identify inputs, outputs and the sequence of operations, then explain the code at the level needed for the reader's question. Separate demonstrated behavior from intended purpose and include a small trace where it clarifies the result.

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run

Example input

Explain this Python function and evaluate it for [-2, 0, 3, 1]:
def positives(values):
    return [value for value in values if value > 0]

Completed example

The comprehension tests each item against zero and builds a new list in input order.
positives([-2, 0, 3, 1]) returns [3, 1].
Zero and negative values are excluded. The input list is not modified. Items must support comparison with zero.

Load this input into the prompt, then copy it to WebAct to try the task. Your result may differ from the illustration.

Decisions and troubleshooting.

Should an explanation assume comments describe the code correctly?

Compare comments with actual operations. They may express an outdated intention that the implementation no longer follows.

Why does the explanation ignore a type or boundary case?

Supply representative inputs and the runtime. Behavior can change when values are empty, missing or of a different type.

Try it with your own source.

Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
