Breakpoints

Breakpoints are specific points in software development where a program's execution can be paused. Think of them as checkpoints that allow programmers to examine the current state of the program—such as variables, memory, or process flow—at that precise moment. This helps identify bugs or understand how the code behaves, making debugging more efficient. When a program runs in a debugger and hits a breakpoint, it stops, giving developers a chance to inspect and analyze before continuing or stepping through the code.
