Debugging Intro

  • 0:10 - 0:15
    Debugging is finding and fixing problems.
    There are lots of ways to debug problems.
  • 0:15 - 0:20
    One of the easiest is to move step by step
    until where you find where something goes wrong.
  • 0:20 - 0:29
    Here I'm trying to do a back handspring
    on the beam but I keep falling off. I walked
  • 0:29 - 0:34
    through each part step by step and realized
    where my mistake was. I wasn't putting my
  • 0:34 - 0:40
    hands on the beam correctly. So I tried another
    back handspring on the beam with my new hand
  • 0:40 - 0:47
    position and I got it. I was really glad I
    debugged my back handspring. To learn about
  • 0:47 - 0:53
    debugging, we start with a set of blocks already
    on the stage. You'll notice that these blocks
  • 0:53 - 1:00
    won't get you to the goal. We need to debug
    the solution and fix it. What went wrong?
  • 1:00 - 1:07
    You'll notice that you needed to keep going
    west one more block so let's fix this by adding
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    another west block and hitting run to see
    if you got it right. Yay, you got it!
