Chapter 1: Basic Bug Types

There are many types of bugs. Here are a few:

Logic Errors: These are when the code does exactly what it's supposed to, but not what it's supposed to do.
Data Errors: These are when the data is wrong, but you're not sure where it's from.
Runtime Errors: These are like the ones that happen at runtime.
Style Errors: These are when your code looks like a hot mess.

Chapter 2: Advanced Bug Hunting Techniques

Now that you know about the different types of bugs, it's time to learn about how to find them.

Use a debugger: It's like a superpower for your code.
Print out your variables: It's like following breadcrumbs through a dark forest.
Try to reproduce the bug: It's like reliving the same bad dream over and over.

Chapter 3: Bug Reporting and Fixing

Now that you've found your bug, it's time to make it known, and make it fixed.

Write a clear report: It's like telling your grandma what happened.
Provide a reproducible test case: It's like leaving breadcrumbs for the next person to follow.
Don't be a jerk about it: It's like fixing a leaky faucet, not building a new house.

Appendix: Bug Catching Jokes

Because debugging is serious business, but it's also kinda funny.

Why did the bug go to the doctor? Because it was feeling a little buggy!
Why did the programmer quit his job? Because he didn't get any code.
