Code Syntax Dataset (S)
A large-scale, high‑quality dataset for teaching large language models to identify and correct common syntax errors across 30+ programming languages.
Contains 500,000+ unique examples (≈110 MB) with English explanations – no artificial padding.
📊 Dataset Format
The dataset is provided as a single CSV file with the following columns:
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
wrong_code |
string | Code snippet containing a syntax error |
correct_code |
string | The corrected version of the same snippet |
explanation |
string | Concise, plain‑English explanation of the mistake and fix |
language |
string | Programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript, Rust) |
🧠 Languages Covered
The dataset includes examples from 30+ languages and technologies:
| Category | Languages |
|---|---|
| General‑purpose | Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C#, C++, Rust, Go, Ruby, PHP, Perl, Swift, Kotlin, R, MATLAB |
| Web | HTML, CSS |
| Database | SQL (MySQL/PostgreSQL‑style) |
| Shell / Scripting | Bash, PowerShell |
| Markup / Config | YAML, JSON, XML, Markdown |
| Backend / Node.js | Express, fs, JWT, bcrypt, Mongoose |
💡 Example Entries
Here are a few sample rows to illustrate the dataset content:
| wrong_code | correct_code | explanation | language |
|---|---|---|---|
if x > 5\n print('hello') |
if x > 5:\n print('hello') |
Colon missing after if. | Python |
console.log('world' |
console.log('world') |
Close parenthesis. | JavaScript |
let mut x=5; let r1=&mut x; let r2=&mut x; |

Only one mutable borrow allowed. | Rust |
SELECT name age FROM users; |
SELECT name, age FROM users; |
Missing comma between columns. | SQL |
Each example is unique – variable names, numbers, and string values are randomised, ensuring a wide variety of patterns for robust model training.
🎯 Use Cases
- Fine‑tuning LLMs – train models to correct erroneous code or to generate correct code from buggy input.
- Building code‑review assistants – create tools that automatically detect and suggest fixes for common syntax mistakes.
- Educational materials – use the dataset as a large, searchable bank of common programming pitfalls.
- Benchmarking – evaluate how well models understand language‑specific syntax rules.
