And you've probably already experienced a little bit of this in the course so far. You may have heard of the term debugging before. And this process involves locating and correcting code errors in your program. We often call these errors bugs, because computer scientist pioneer Grace Hopper coined the term bug when she found a moth causing an error in her early computer. In this chapter we'll look at some strategies for how to debug your programs and how to fix some common errors. Before we can solve errors, we have to understand how our program is executing code so that we can find them. One way we can understand how our program is working more fully and locate an error is by using print statements. In this lesson, we'll take a look at our multiple choice program from the last chapter, but with a few errors…
