Watch Python Debugging (PyCharm + VS Code) Video Tutorial

Step by step through your program. Debugging is an essential and unavoidable part of programming. Everyone writes bugs, and we'd like to get rid of them. Print statements are fine to a certain point, but live debugging is usually a better option. With live debugging, you can step through your program one statement at a time, and set breakpoints at interesting places to stop, view, and interact with the state of the program before it proceeds. This is a very beginner-friendly tutorial on how to use PyCharm and VS Code for live debugging in Python. CONTEST CURRENTLY CLOSED! The winners have been contacted. OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES: 1.
