Debugging: Dry Runs & Trace Tables 🐛

Welcome to this episode where we're tackling a crucial programming skill: debugging. Today, we're covering Period 23: Debugging Techniques, and our goal is to help you describe and exemplify dry runs and trace tables.

The Art of Finding Bugs

We'll start by defining debugging as the process of identifying and correcting different types of errors in code:

  • Syntax errors (typos, incorrect grammar)
  • Execution errors (run-time issues like dividing by zero)
