How do I use a debugger effectively?

What is a debugger and how do I use it?

A debugger is a tool that helps you test and debug your code by allowing you to step through it, inspect variables, and find errors.

Can you explain how to set breakpoints?

Sure! You can set breakpoints in your code by clicking on the margin next to the line number in your IDE. This will pause execution at that line.

What should I do after hitting a breakpoint?

Once you hit a breakpoint, you can inspect variable values, step through the code line by line, or continue execution until the next breakpoint.

Are there any common debugging techniques I should know?

Yes! Some common techniques include using print statements, checking error messages, and isolating code sections to identify issues.
