Sometimes doing things that are new can be difficult. Maybe you get frustrated and upset that you keep making mistakes. Sometimes you want to give up. When you practice using persistence, you train your brain to keep trying. You learn to think about the mistakes you made and use that information to create a new solution or way to do something.
When there is a mistake or error in a program, we call that mistake or error a Bug. Finding bugs and fixing them is called Debugging. You have to be persistent when finding and fixing bugs in your algorithms. Sometimes they are easy to spot ... other times, you really have to look.
