Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Write a short program that has at least three types of breakpoints set in it. Describe what each breakpoint captures.

💡 Hint: Consider how each breakpoint serves a different purpose.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine debugging a program where a variable does not store the expected value after several computations. Design a strategy using breakpoints to isolate the point of failure.

💡 Hint: Think about where changes to the variable occur and the values you expect.
