debugging is checking for any errors in your code and removing them, mainly logical.

In addition to what Brains already said, the other issues you would be debugging is syntactical errors, which is usually typos or not properly using the syntax for something. Basically, debugging is any time there are errors (logical/syntactical) and you're in the process of tracking them down and resolving them.

debugging is removing errors from codes, or also make the code work, though there might be no errors. (the code may have some non-bug errors)

Debugging helps you to spot where you have errors in your lines of code. Once you spot it, you can then rectify it to prevent errors and ensure the code runs accurately.

debugging is like proof reading an essay and making the corrections. except you are instead correcting broken code.

Debugging is helps to check your program flow and state at runtime, so that you can confirm state and behaviour of program working fine, if not we can found where we are missing expected state/flow in program and fix it.
