Debugging Concepts

Error Types

Syntax, compilation, runtime, and logic errors each require different approaches

Debug Process

Read error messages, identify the problem, form hypotheses, test fixes

Prevention

Better to prevent bugs through good practices than to fix them later

Debugging Scenarios
Choose a problem to debug and learn from

Missing Semicolon

syntax

A classic syntax error that every C++ programmer encounters

beginner

Undeclared Variable

compilation

Using a variable that hasn't been declared

Division by Zero

runtime

A runtime error that crashes your program

intermediate

Infinite Loop

logic

Debugging Wisdom & Best Practices
📚 Read Error Messages

Compilers give precise information about what's wrong and where. Learn to decode them.

🔍 Isolate the Problem

Comment out sections of code to narrow down where the bug occurs.

🖨️ Use Print Debugging

Add cout statements to trace variable values and program flow.

🧠 Think Like a Detective

Form hypotheses about what's wrong, then test them systematically.
