Software developers often dedicate more time to understanding and evaluating code
written by others than to writing code themselves.
This group of "others" now includes advanced tools that utilize Large Language Models (LLMs)
to translate natural language specifications into code.
While these tools can perform well on straightforward tasks and continue to improve,
they often generate incorrect or inefficient code, even for basic programming problems.
Consequently, aspiring software developers must build their skills in analyzing
and critiquing code designed to meet specific requirements.
REFUTE questions are designed to cultivate these skills, particularly in introductory programming courses.
These questions present students with code that fails to accomplish a given task,
challenging them to identify a counterexample where the code's behavior deviates from the intended outcome.
