In Python, there are several methods available for debugging. Here are some commonly used methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use the print statement: Add print statements at key points to output the value of variables or some prompt information in order to observe the execution of the program.<\/li>\n
  2. The assert statement is used to check if a condition is true, and if it’s false, the program will raise an AssertionError exception. It can be used to verify if a variable’s value meets expectations.<\/li>\n
  3. Using the pdb module: pdb is a debugging module in Python that allows you to add breakpoints in your code. This will pause the execution of the program when it reaches the breakpoint, allowing you to inspect variable values, step through the code, etc. You can set a breakpoint by importing pdb and using pdb.set_trace() in your code.<\/li>\n
  4. Many integrated development environments (IDE) offer debugging capabilities, allowing users to set breakpoints in the code, step through the code execution, and view variable values.<\/li>\n
  5. Utilize third-party debuggers: Apart from pdb, there are other third-party debuggers available such as PyCharm debugger, IPython debugger, which offer more powerful debugging features and interactive interfaces.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These are some commonly used Python debugging methods, choose the debugging method that suits your needs and preferences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
