Practice using the Python debugger in VS Code.

Assignment

Do the following:

  1. Download and save the example.py file.
  2. Open example.py in VS Code.
  3. Follow along with this video about the Python Debugger (17 minutes) from the preparation content and use the debugger in VS Code to step through the example.py program.

Ponder

As you used the debugger to step through the example.py program, did you learn anything new about Python and how functions work? Do you think the debugger could help you find mistakes in your code?
