The debugging process refers to identifying and fixing errors or bugs in a software program. It involves analyzing the code, locating the source of the problem, and making necessary changes to resolve it.
Imagine you are trying to solve a puzzle, but one piece doesn't fit properly. The debugging process is like examining each piece, identifying which one is causing the issue, and then adjusting or replacing it until all pieces fit together perfectly.
Breakpoint: A specific point in the code where program execution pauses so that developers can inspect variables and step through the code for debugging purposes.
Stack Trace: A report that shows the sequence of function calls leading up to an error or exception in a program.
Runtime Error: An error that occurs during program execution due to invalid operations or unexpected conditions.
