Hello everyone! My name is Julian and Today, we will talk about what is debugging and how we can debug our code in VS Code. To understand it better, I’ll share a little story about a coffee machine.
[The Coffee Machine Mystery]
Meet Jasmine. She loves her morning coffee and relies on her trusty coffee machine to kickstart her day.
But one morning, as she eagerly presses the brew button,
she’s finds out that the coffee machine is not working !
First, Jasmine checks if she’s out of coffee beans.
After refilling the hopper, she presses the button again, but nothing changes.
Next, she wonders if the water tank is empty.
She fills it up, yet the machine remains stubbornly silent.
Frustrated, she decides to call her friend Raghav , who’s good with fixing things.
Raghav arrives and approaches the problem methodically (step by step).
He starts by checking the water tank—full, so that’s not the issue.
Next, he inspects the coffee bean hopper—plenty of beans there.
Finally, he examines the filter and discovers it’s clogged with old coffee grounds.
After cleaning the filter, Raghav gives the machine another try.
This time, it came back to life, brewing a fresh cup of coffee! Jasmine is relieved and grateful to have her morning ritual back on track.
[What is Debugging, and Why Do We Need It?]
So, why is this story important?
Just like Raghav checked each part of the coffee machine,
debugging in programming is about carefully examining our code to find and fix errors or bugs. It’s essential because even small mistakes can cause our programs to fail.
Debugging helps us identify the exact problem,
just like cleaning the filter helped Jasmine’s coffee machine work again.
Without debugging, our apps might not work properly, leading to confusion and frustration for users.

[Closing]
In summary, debugging is a vital skill for any developer. It helps us ensure our code works as expected, just like a clean coffee machine brews a perfect cup of coffee. Thanks for listening, and I hope this story and explanation help you understand the importance of debugging in programming!
