Debugging is the process of finding, analyzing, and fixing errors, or "bugs," in computer software or hardware to ensure correct and efficient operation. It involves systematically identifying the root cause of a problem within code or system configuration, using tools and techniques like stepping through code, examining variables, and testing corrections to achieve error-free functionality.

The Process of Debugging

Identify the problem: Recognize that a program or system is not functioning as expected.

Isolate the error: Pinpoint the specific line of code, component, or setting responsible for the issue.

Analyze the cause: Determine why the error is occurring, which could be a syntax error, a logical flaw, or an incorrect configuration.

Fix the error: Modify the code or system to resolve the identified problem.

Test the solution: Verify that the fix works correctly and does not introduce new issues.
