+  # Adding to p5.js Friendly Error System
+
+#### By Shantanu Kaushik ([@Aloneduckling](https://github.com/Aloneduckling)) | GSoC 2021
+
+### Overview
+Throughout this summer, I worked on p5.js's Friendly Error System (FES in short) under the mentorship of Thales Grilo and Luis Morales-Navarro. The FES is a p5.js feature
+which supports beginners when encountering common errors, checking for common mistakes and providing simple and easy to understand error messages.
+This project aimed to further improve FES by further building on an existing feature and adding new features.
+
+The major goals of this project were:
+1.  Additions to FES's `fesErrorMonitor`.
+2.  Allowing FES to detect redeclaration of p5.js reserved variables and functions
+
+
+### Work
+#### Phase 1: Adding to FES's `fesErrorMonitor`
+
+`fesErrorMonitor` functionality of FES shows the error given by the browsers and its details in a simple form. This feature was introduced to FES in GSoC 2020 by Akshay Padte.
+
+FES's `fesErrorMonitor` has a list of errors that it detects. That list could be extended by adding more errors that a user can encounter.
+
+My work was to extend this list and enable `fesErrorMonitor` to detect more commonly seen errors and show them in a simplified form.
+
+The list of errors that were added:

+
+While working on this phase I had a lot of back and forth interaction with my mentors to ensure that the error messages are to the point and easy to understand by the user.
+
+All the code and error messages can be viewed here: [GSoC'21: adding to FES phase 1 #5305](https://github.com/processing/p5.js/pull/5305)
+
+#### Phase 2: New feature `sketch_reader.js`
+
+In this phase, I added a new feature to the FES to detect the redeclaration of p5.js's reserved variables and functions.
+
+If a user by mistake redefines a p5.js reserved constant/function then it can cause problems and create confusion. For Example:
+
+```js
+//user redefines p5.js's "text" function 
+let text = function(){
+  console.log('hello world');
+}
+//if the user intends to user p5.js text function somewhere in their code then it won't work
+```
+The new feature `sketch_reader.js` tackles this problem.
+
+`sketch_reader.js` does the following:
+
+(I) Checks if any p5.js constant or function is declared by the user outside the `setup` and `draw` function and reports it.
+
+(II) In `setup` and `draw` function it performs:
+ 1. Extraction of the code written by the user
+ 2. Conversion of the code to an array of lines of code
+ 3. Catching variable and function declaration
+ 4. Checking if the declared function/variable is a reserved p5.js constant or function and report it.
+
+While working on this feature I learned a lot of new things about p5.js and the working of the FES. 
+This feature was a necessary addition as it resolves a common problem which the new p5.js users might encounter.

+
+### Conclusion and Acknowledgements
+
+I enjoyed working on this project and learned a lot of things this summer. 
+
+I would like to thank my mentors **Thales Grilo** and **Luis Morales-Navarro** for their invaluable help and guidance throughout this summer of code. I would like to thank the **Processing Foundation** for creating such an awesome library. I would also like to thank **Google the GSoC team** for giving student developers like me a chance to work on awesome projects and make our summer productive.
