Probably tye second one tbh

It’s easy, you just step, step, step, step in, or wait, over, or, oops.

Watch a Video or read something because it really is an invaluable tool. But here's a crash course:

Debuggers, or IDEs, let you step through your code in slo-mo so you can see what is happening.

1. Set a breakpoint - Click to the left of a line of code so a red dot appears. Run your program, and the IDE will execute to that line, then pause.
2. Look at variables' values - While the execution is paused you can hover over variables before that line to see their value.
3. Step through the code - See what happens next in slo-mo.
   • Use "Step Into" to enter into a function and see what that code does.
   • Use "Step Over" to not go into a function and continue in the current spot after the function has done its business.
   • Use "Step Out" to exit a function and pick up the execution after it has run. Use this when you're in too deep and the code stops making sense.
4. See whats in the heap - The heap will list all the functions that you're currently inside of. You can jump to any of those points by clicking them.
5. Set a watch - Keep a variable in the watch so you can see what its value is at all times.
6. Set a condition on the breakpoint - If the breakpoint is inside a big loop, you can right-click on the red dot to create a conditional breakpoint, so you write something like x===3 and it will only pause when x is 3.

There are many other things an IDE can do to help you, so def look into it more if you want to save yourself a lot of insanity. But this is a good starting point.

If you're developing for the web use F12 to open web tools, and when an error happens, click the file/line number to see that point in the Sources tab, and you can debug there.

I believe in a conspiracy theory that nobody uses debuggers.

That image goes so incredibly hard

Kung Fury will never not be amazing

Dude, literally me. Whenever my friends or my brother's friend come to my room, I opened up a few terminals with only one of them is actually for coding and they thoight I could hack someone's Facebook account or something LMAO.

Yes I live in Southeast Asia

What I want to know is who taught the original Indian YouTube tutor. Was he born with the knowledge?

Competitive programming.

Usually multiple algorithmic problems that are released to public at the same time and the fastest people to submit a correct solution get more points.

A fun one I still like to participate in is advent of code, which is a yearly christmas themed one with two problems released a day during advent.

If you want to seriously compete in competitive programming, you need to learn and memorize different problem types and the solutions to those. A bit like you start learning patterns in chess.

For practicing, the CSES Problem Set is a gold mine for practice problems. Theres also a list of competitive programming books on the site.

Just a heads up, I think the word you're looking for is empathize.
