Question

what is the meaning of debugging?

Answer 1

To my understanding, it's a term used in computer programming to refer to the act of removing errors or bugs in a program.

Answer 2

A LITTLE HISTORY

In 1947, Grace Murray Hopper was working on the Harvard University Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator (a primitive computer).

On the 9th of September, 1947, when the machine was experiencing problems, an investigation showed that there was a moth trapped between the points of Relay #70, in Panel F.

The operators removed the moth and affixed it to the log. The entry reads: "First actual case of bug being found."

The word went out that they had "debugged" the machine and the term "debugging a computer program" was born.

Answer 3

Debugging is the process of stepping through your program and checking your program for errors. For example you can stop half through your code and check the value of some variable or anything that might be giving you an error that you couldn't do (well you could but it's faster to find a problem this way) if your program was running normally. Also if a program compiles fine and runs it doesn't mean it's error free at all.

Answer 4

Debugging is a methodical process of finding and reducing the number of bugs, or defects, in a computer program or a piece of electronic hardware. Debugging tends to be harder when various subsystems are tightly coupled, as changes in one may cause bugs to emerge in another. It involves numerous aspects which include interactive debugging, control flow, integration testing, log files, monitoring, memory dumps, statistical process control and special design tactics to improve detection while simplifying changes.

Answer 5

"Debugging refers to a process in software development whereby program analysts comb through computer code looking for “bugs” — the source of errors, flaws or security holes in the internal program instructions. Hardware development also goes through debugging to ensure compatibility with current hardware standards and interoperability between components that adhere to the same protocols. Additionally, debugging guarantees that hardware and software is backwards compatible, or will coexist with preexisting standards that might still be in use."

Answer 6

Debugging is a methodical process of finding and reducing the number of bugs, or defects, in a computer program or a piece of electronic hardware, thus making it behave as expected. Debugging tends to be harder when various subsystems are tightly coupled, as changes in one may cause bugs to emerge in another.

Answer 7

in programming "BUG" is an error program

debugging is to remove error from program and it will be compile fine
