What is “debugging” in programming?
A
giving computer a set of commands
B
the process of finding and fixing errors in programming
C
a programming language in the web
D
an error in a code
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Debugging is the process of finding and fixing errors or bugs in the source code of any software. When software does not work as expected, computer programmers study the code to determine why any errors occurred.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definition: Debugging is the process of detecting and removing of existing and potential errors (also called as ‘bugs’) in a software code that can cause it to behave unexpectedly or crash. To prevent incorrect operation of a software or system, debugging is used to find and resolve bugs or defects.

Detailed explanation-3: -Debugging, in computer programming and engineering, is a multistep process that involves identifying a problem, isolating the source of the problem and then either correcting the problem or determining a way to work around it. The final step of debugging is to test the correction or workaround and make sure it works.

Detailed explanation-4: -Debuggers allow programmers to create “breakpoints” in code. When they run code with a breakpoint in it, the code will stop running at the breakpoint. The developer can then step through the code line by line and examine the variables in each step to determine what went wrong.

Detailed explanation-5: -Debugging is the process of finding errors in software code.
