Example Prompts and Responses

1. Code Analysis

Review this Python function for potential improvements and security issues:

def process_user_data(data):
    for item in data:
        result = eval(item)
        print(result)

Several critical issues:

1. Using eval() is dangerous - vulnerable to code injection
2. No input validation
3. No error handling

Improved version:

def process_user_data(data):
    try:
        for item in data:
            if not isinstance(item, (int, float, str)):
                raise ValueError("Invalid data type")
            result = float(item) if str(item).replace('.','').isdigit() else None
            if result is not None:
                print(result)
    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(f"Error processing data: {e}")
