Is the process of identifying and rectifying errors in a program that leads to unexpected behavior.

• exception

• Debugging

• Identifying the cause

• Examining the error symptoms

To successfully identify and understand the symptoms of the issue in the code, such as crashes, error messages, or unexpected behaviors.

• Identifying the cause

• Understanding the Problem

• Fixing the error

• Examining the error symptoms

Once the symptoms are identified, the root cause of the problem should be taken care of.

• Identifying the cause

• Log Analysis

• Examining the error symptoms

• Fixing the error

Once the issue is identified, necessary changes and corrections should be made to remove the problem and ensure that codes work correctly.

• Log Analysis

• Identifying the cause

• Fixing the error

• Examining the error symptoms

It is vital to fully understand the problem being solved before making changes to the code.

• Debugging Tools

• breakpoints

• Fixing the error

• Understanding the Problem

Where it starts from the point the problem first began and works backward through the code to find out how and why it happened.

• Binary Search

• Backtracking

• stepping

• Take Notes

Can help give valuable insights into how the code functions, including variables and memory usage, that help save time.

• Rubber Ducking

• Debugging Tools

• Understanding the Problem

• Binary Search

Is the point in the code to temporarily stop the execution of the program to inspect the state of its functionality.

• breakpoint

• Take Breaks

• Clustering Bugs

• Backtracking

Technique to manually move through each line of code to study variables and data structures for problems.

• Debugging Tools

• stepping

• Rubber Ducking

• Clustering Bugs

It is advisable to narrow the scope of the issues into manageable portions when faced with a complex problem.
