Answer 1

Debugging is -- literally -- the process of removing bugs from your program.

But first you need to find those bugs.

You can do that in different ways:

• Sprinkling your code with logging/tracing statements: this is called "printf debugging".
• Thinking really hard.
• Using a debugger, which allows you to step through your program, pausing it (using breakpoints) and looking at the current values of the variables in it.

Once you've found the bug, you need to remove it. For that, you go back to your text editor and fix the code. That part doesn't use the debugger.

But, these days, most programmers use a combined editor/debugger (an IDE).
