How do I use the Python PDB debugger?

The Python Debugger (PDB) is a powerful tool for debugging Python programs. You can start it by adding import pdb; pdb.set_trace() in your code.

What are some common commands I should know?

Some common PDB commands include:

• n (next): Execute the next line of code.
• c (continue): Continue execution until the next breakpoint.
• q (quit): Exit the debugger.

How can I set breakpoints in my code?

You can set a breakpoint by using the command b <line_number> while in the PDB prompt, or by adding pdb.set_trace() in your code.

Can I inspect variables while debugging?

Yes, you can inspect variables by simply typing their names in the PDB prompt, or using the p command followed by the variable name.
