Debugging is an essential part of coding that involves identifying and resolving issues or bugs in your code. These bugs can cause your program to behave unexpectedly or even crash.
During debugging, you might use tools or techniques to step through your code, check variable values, and understand the flow of execution. This helps ensure your code runs smoothly and as intended.
For example, if a function is supposed to return a sum but instead returns an error, debugging helps you find out why and correct it.
Example
if (a + b != expectedSum) { debug(); }Related terms
