DebuggerA Debugger is a software tool used during the development of a program to find errors in the source code.
A debugger is a tool program specific to each programming language. It allows the programmer to find errors, so-called “bugs,” in the source code of a program. The source code is the readable code and the translation of the programming idea into a logical hierarchy of commands for the computer. Source code cannot be read directly by the computer, but it makes it easier for the programmer because it's more associative and nearer to human communication than the machine language which is understood by the computer. The translation from the written source code to machine language is done by a compiler program. Before this step, the programmer uses the debugger which tests the program in terms of certain logical requirements and interference with the operating system. The debugger does not show if a program is able to solve the required task. This element of testing is done under real-life conditions.
