Debugging:



The process of discovering and correcting bugs in a program.



The process of identifying a program error and the circumstances in which the error occurs, locating the source(s) of the error in the program and fixing the error.

Let's say that you are a programmer in Java (which is, in case you didn't know, a programming language.) And there is something wrong with your program. Little errors in the code of your program are usually called bugs and when you want your program to work you would generally go through a process most people know as debugging. What you do is you review the code and search for errors in it. Usually the compiler, what you use to make your program, will point out the problem to you and then let you solve it. A debugging tool is just any program that will allow you to, or help you to, debug.

debugging is locating and fixing syntax or logical errors in a program. in the olden days of computers, when they used vacuum tubes and wires -- they were having problems getting the system to calculate the right answer. when they checked all the connections, they found that a bug had shorted out one of the relays so they removed the moth and 'debugged' the system.

Debugging is the process of tracing and removing errors (bugs) in a program.



the debugging tool is another program written to help programmers trace and correct errors in a pogram.

A 'trojan horse' is an blunders in a pc application, so said as because the first trojan horse in a application develop into actually a moth got here upon in the gadget. To 'debug' meant to eliminate the trojan horse from this methodology. to that end, it is going to open up yet another application the position you may do this for your self. I recommend you click 'no', there is not any aspect in attempting somewhat. If it comes up at the same time as surfing the information superhighway, you could turn this off in information superhighway concepts, so it gained't arise back.

its just like tracing it checks errors line by line and executes line by line

if u know C language press F7 for a prg then u can have a clear idea abt debugging

With software, to detect, locate, and correct logical or syntactical errors in a computer program. With hardware, to detect, locate, and correct a malfunction or to fix an inoperable system. The term troubleshoot is more commonly used in hardware contexts – especially if the problem is suspected to be a major one.

when you compile debugging support into your application(-g3 in gcc), you can run your application in a debugger and the debugger will tell you where your program segfaults, divides by zero, and other things like that. you can also see the list of functions called using a stack trace.
