Debugging tools are essential for developers to identify and fix issues in their code. Below is a list of some commonly used debugging tools:
Console Logs: A basic yet powerful tool for checking the flow of your code. It allows you to see the output of
console.log()statements in the browser's developer tools.Breakpoints: Set breakpoints in your code to pause the execution at specific lines. This helps in inspecting the state of your application at that moment.
Watch Expressions: These allow you to monitor the value of variables during the execution of your code. It's particularly useful for understanding how variables change over time.
Network Tools: Tools like Chrome DevTools' Network tab help you inspect and debug HTTP requests and responses made by your application.
Source Maps: They map the original source code to the compiled code, making it easier to debug minified or transpiled code.

Remember, the choice of debugging tools depends on your specific needs and the technologies you are working with. Happy debugging!
