Sometimes, codes have errors called bugs in them. Debugging means to remove these "bugs" so your code will run smoothly. One type of bug is a syntax error. A syntax error is an incorrect character or string in a command that causes the computer to not understand your code. Sometimes, when you run a script, the software you used to run the script might tell you what line the error is, or it might even tell you what error you made! If you have a bug in your code, don't worry, because everyone makes mistakes and bugs are an inevitable part of coding. Another type of bug is a functionality bug. Functionality bugs are when certain feature or the entire program isn't functioning properly. There are also many others types of bugs, such as usability bugs, compatibility errors, logic bugs, and many more.

There are many strategies on how to fix bugs. One technique on fixing bugs is to establish a standardized process. To establish a standardized process means to make a process where all of your tasks are organized in a way so that it is easier to debug. Another strategy is to test your code in frequent intervals, Instead of just testing it when it is finished. This makes sure that you will catch your errors sooner, and there will also be less code to scan for errors. Another strategy is to use an instrument program to log information. Also, you could use a debugging tool to help you debug code. A debugger can automatically scan through the code and check for any bugs. Another strategy is to backtrack the code. Backtracking means to start from where the problem occurred and go back through the code and try to figure out how the problem happened.
