What is Debugging?
A way to catch errors when programming.
VS Code
When using VScode and python, using the debugger prevents you from having to use print statements throughout your code. The debugger typically uses a launch.json file, which is set up as follows:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Python Debugger: Current File",
"type": "debugpy",
"request": "launch",
"program": "/path/to/main.py", // Use this like to point to your main.py or the default file you want to debug. Use ${file} if you want it to be whatever file you're 'looking' at
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"python": "/Users/sebastianozuddas/anaconda3/envs/<specific environment>/bin/python", // Use this line to point to your python environment
}
]
}
