Previously on Dr. Lambda’s blog: I have devised a series of debugging challenges, some are easy, some are really hard, all come from real live systems. Good luck!

The Challenge

  • 1 point if you can spot where the error is.
  • +1 point if you can explain why.
  • +2 points if you can explain how to fix it.
export class ActivityService {
activities : Activity[] = [];
constructor(){
this.activities = [
{
title: "Arrange meeting",
type: "task"
}
];
setTimeout(function () {
this.activities.push({
title: "Meeting",
type: "appointment"
});
}, 3000);
};
}
