What is Debugging?

The process of finding and fixing errors (bugs) in software code to ensure correct program behavior.

Debugging is a systematic process: reproduce the bug, isolate the cause, fix the code, and verify the fix. Techniques include print/log statements, interactive debuggers (breakpoints, step-through), and rubber duck debugging (explaining the problem aloud).

Modern IDEs provide powerful debugging tools with variable inspection, call stacks, and conditional breakpoints. Logging frameworks (with levels like DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR) help track issues in production.
