cat coding

Coding a program or trying to fix a bug by using all combinations from a finite amount of options instead of thinking through the solution.

Person A: I have a bug in my code. I don't get it I have VarA, VarB
Person B: One of them should be negative.
Person A: Okay, I'll debug it.
Person B: just cat code it, run it with negative VarA and again with negative VarB till you get the right answer. Cat coding is faster.
