Debugging Activities

Debugging (fixing your code) is an important skill to develop. There are two types of errors that you will get when coding:

1. Syntax errors - these are the errors that include mistakes in the formatting and typing of code

   1. Spelling errors

   2. Missing brackets or quotation marks

   3. Using different variable names

   4. Not indenting correctly

2. Logical errors - this is where the code works and compiles, but doesn't work as planned. Its important to keep testing your program during the development of the code. Some strategies to resolve these types of errors include:

   1. Printing variables out after each step to see if you can isolate the error

   2. Testing different values

   3. Commenting out lines of code to isolate an error
