Why do we need to debug a code?

Definition: Debugging is the process of detecting and removing of existing and potential errors (also called as ‘bugs’) in a software code that can cause it to behave unexpectedly or crash. To prevent incorrect operation of a software or system, debugging is used to find and resolve bugs or defects.

How do developers debug the code?

Debuggers allow programmers to create “breakpoints” in code. When they run code with a breakpoint in it, the code will stop running at the breakpoint. The developer can then step through the code line by line and examine the variables in each step to determine what went wrong.

Why is it so hard to make advanced programming languages?

The only reason this isn’t done is because there aren’t enough people who are that insane. Second, when different, advanced things actually do need to be made, they have to stick to those few set ways too, and that makes the experience of programming them immensely difficult.

Why is creativity in programming so hard to achieve?

Because most code is not complete enough to exist without enormous, explicit intent. Creativity is hardly possible with programming because randomness is hardly possible in programming. There are well-defined ways things are done, and on the basic level that’s fine.

What is the main focus of programming?

The focus of most programming is to follow a well-known recipe that was created by a handful of really smart people. The aim of programming is usually quite clear, and so is the process of getting there. You have a set of things to accomplish, and you make the code do it to a satisfactory degree.

Is it possible to be creative with code?

But things that should just work will end up screwing up instead, causing even more problems than anticipated. Programming is tedious. No, it’s fucking tedious. This makes it impossible to be creative with code, because even conventional, common uses of code barely work.
