COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -Debugging is the process of locating and fixing errors (called bugs) in a computer program that can cause it to crash, behave erratically or be susceptible to hacker attack.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Three kinds of errors can occur in a program: syntax errors, runtime errors, and semantic errors. It is useful to distinguish between them in order to track them down more quickly.

Detailed explanation-4: -In two controlled student experiments, they observed a four-step model of debugging behavior: 1) comprehend the system; 2) test the system; 3) locate the error; and 4) fix the error.

Detailed explanation-5: -Step 1: Error Messages. The first thing I tend to do is run the code a few times, trying to gouge exactly what is making the error. Step 2: Isolate the Error. Step 3: Finding the Line. Step 4: Use Your Brain. Step 5: Check Regularly. Step 6: Last Hope.
