A bug refers to an error, fault or flaw in any computer program or a hardware system. A bug produces unexpected results or causes a system to behave unexpectedly. ➝ In short it is any behavior or result that a program or system gets but it was not designed to do. Debugging checks, detects and corrects errors or bugs to allow proper program operation according to set specifications. https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/241713/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/1284241/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/1452147/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/215790/?ref=app

Bug is an error in your program that happens because you did not program correctly. Debugging is basically the process of removing that bug.
