How to Debug Like a Pro: A Systematic Approach

ntroduction: Coding is 20% writing and 80% fixing what you wrote. If you feel stuck when an error pops up, you aren’t alone. Here is the workflow I use to solve any bug:

The Steps:

Isolate the Problem: Comment out sections of code until the error disappears. This helps you find the exact culprit.

Read the Error Message: Don’t panic! Most of the time, the console tells you exactly which line is broken and why.

The “Console.log” Method: Check your variables at different stages. Is the data what you think it is?

Rubber Ducking: Explain your code out loud to an object (or a friend). Often, as you explain it, you’ll realize where the logic fails.
