ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Grok - ultimate coding challenge comparison

Comparing ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok in a coding challenge involves evaluating their capabilities in understanding, generating, and debugging code. Here’s a structured approach to compare these AI models:

1. Code Generation


  • Task: Write a Python function to calculate the Fibonacci sequence up to the nth term.

  • Evaluation Criteria: Correctness, efficiency, readability, and adherence to best practices.


2. Code Understanding


  • Task: Explain the purpose and functionality of a given piece of code.

  • Evaluation Criteria: Accuracy, clarity, and depth of explanation.


3. Code Debugging


  • Task: Identify and fix errors in a given piece of code.

  • Evaluation Criteria: Accuracy in identifying errors, effectiveness of the fix, and clarity of the explanation.


4. Complex Problem Solving


  • Task: Implement a more complex algorithm, such as a sorting algorithm (e.g., quicksort) or a data structure (e.g., a binary search tree).

  • Evaluation Criteria: Correctness, efficiency, readability, and adherence to best practices.


5. Real-World Application


  • Task: Write a script to scrape data from a website and store it in a database.

  • Evaluation Criteria: Correctness, efficiency, readability, and adherence to best practices.


Example Comparison

1. Code Generation


  • ChatGPT:

def fibonacci(n):
if n <= 0:
return []
elif n == 1:
return [0]
elif n == 2:
return [0, 1]
else:
sequence = [0, 1]
while len(sequence) < n:
sequence.append(sequence[-1] + sequence[-2])
return sequence

  • Claude:

def fibonacci(n):
if n <= 0:
return []
elif n == 1:
return [0]
elif n == 2:
return [0, 1]
else:
sequence = [0, 1]
for i in range(2, n):
sequence.append(sequence[i-1] + sequence[i-2])
return sequence

  • Gemini:

def fibonacci(n):
if n <= 0:
return []
elif n == 1:
return [0]
elif n == 2:
return [0, 1]
else:
sequence = [0, 1]
while len(sequence) < n:
sequence.append(sequence[-1] + sequence[-2])
return sequence

  • Grok:

def fibonacci(n):
if n <= 0:
return []
elif n == 1:
return [0]
elif n == 2:
return [0, 1]
else:
sequence = [0, 1]
for i in range(2, n):
sequence.append(sequence[i-1] + sequence[i-2])
return sequence

2. Code Understanding


  • Given Code:

def factorial(n):
if n == 0:
return 1
else:
return n * factorial(n-1)

  • ChatGPT:

"This code defines a recursive function to calculate the factorial of a number n. If n is 0, it returns 1. Otherwise, it returns n multiplied by the factorial of n-1."
  • Claude:

"This function calculates the factorial of a given number n using recursion. If n is 0, it returns 1. For any other value of n, it returns n multiplied by the factorial of n-1."
  • Gemini:

"This is a recursive function to compute the factorial of a number n. If n is 0, it returns 1. Otherwise, it multiplies n by the factorial of n-1."
  • Grok:

"This function computes the factorial of a number n using recursion. If n is 0, it returns 1. For other values of n, it returns n multiplied by the factorial of n-1."

3. Code Debugging


  • Given Code:

def sum_list(numbers):
total = 0
for number in numbers:
total += number
return total

print(sum_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]))


  • ChatGPT:

"The code is correct and does not need debugging. It correctly calculates the sum of the list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and prints 15."
  • Claude:

"The code is correct. It sums the elements of the list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and prints 15."
  • Gemini:

"The code is correct. It calculates the sum of the list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and prints 15."
  • Grok:

"The code is correct. It sums the elements of the list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and prints 15."

4. Complex Problem Solving


  • Task: Implement the quicksort algorithm.

  • ChatGPT:

def quicksort(arr):
if len(arr) <= 1:
return arr
else:
pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]
return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)

  • Claude:

def quicksort(arr):
if len(arr) <= 1:
return arr
else:
pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]
return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)

  • Gemini:

def quicksort(arr):
if len(arr) <= 1:
return arr
else:
pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]
return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)

  • Grok:

def quicksort(arr):
if len(arr) <= 1:
return arr
else:
pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]
return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)

5. Real-World Application


  • Task: Write a script to scrape data from a website and store it in a database.

  • ChatGPT:

```python
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import sqlite3

def scrapeandstore(url, db_name):
response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')

# Example: Scraping titles from a blog
titles = [h2.text for h2 in soup.find_all('h2')]
