Tips for Fixing Bugs and Resolving Code Issues.

Hey there!

These tips I have listed have worked for me and helped me resolve issues in my code. I also learn a lot while on it.

  • Understand the issue.

  • Write down the issue.

  • Go through the code given twice or more times.

  • Understand the code and its logic.

  • Analyze the issue based on the current code.

  • Device two or more ways to fix it on paper.

  • Write pseudocode.

  • Implement pseudocode in your file.

  • Use Debugging tools

  • Use Browser tools for developers like inspect, developer tools, console, etc.

  • Include error handling at every point

  • If still difficult, discuss this problem with another developer
    regardless of the language used.

  • Sleep on the issue.

  • Think about the issue deeply.

  • Go back and fix the issue.

Sidenotes:

Research as much as you can. Someone might have fixed this issue previously. So search the internet to help you work seamlessly.
