Well, for starters the program you wrote is wrong (very unreliable) 100% of the time (very predictable)... so you just got your answer I guess. In any case, most -if not nearly all- of the top-100 LLM will answer your prompt with some code

Say you study some piece of software. And it happens that it has an automated suite of tests. And it happens that some files aren't covered by the test suite. And you happen to find a bug in one of those files that were not covered. Wo
