stack traces

A stack trace is a detailed report generated when a program encounters an error or crashes. It shows the sequence of function calls that led to the issue, like a breadcrumb trail guiding developers through the steps the program took before failing. Each entry indicates a specific function and its location in the code, helping developers identify where and why the problem occurred. Think of it as a map showing the path your program took before hitting a dead end, enabling efficient troubleshooting and fixing of errors.
