Debuggers are tools used by programmers to identify and fix errors or bugs in their code.
Imagine debuggers as detectives who investigate crime scenes (code) for clues (bugs). They help programmers track down issues, just like detectives solve mysteries.
Breakpoints: Specific points set by programmers within their code where they want the debugger to pause execution for inspection.
Stepping Through Code: The process of executing code line by line using a debugger, allowing programmers to observe its behavior.
Watch Variables: A feature in debuggers that allows programmers to monitor the values of specific variables during program execution.
