    • Debugging is the process of localizing the source of a failure in the code and determining the cause behind it.
    • Debugging can involve looking at code, running the code and checking the console log, or using a debugger.
    • A debugger is a tool that can be used to debug a failure in the code.
    • A breakpoint is a line of code or program where the execution of an application will pause.
    • A watchpoint is a data item that, when its value changes, causes the execution of the application to pause.
    • The terms "using a debugger" and "debugging" are not synonymous.
    • The lab will cover several debugging heuristics that can be used in combination with debugger tools.
    • The lab will also introduce some useful vocabulary related to debugging.
