3.6 Error Handling & Debugging

Imagine you're building a complex LEGO castle, and suddenly a piece breaks, or you put a piece in the wrong spot. The castle won't look right, or it might even fall apart!

In programming, just like building, things can go wrong. Errors are problems that stop your program from working correctly. Error Handling is about planning for these problems and making your program deal with them gracefully, instead of just crashing.

Debugging is like being a detective! It's the process of finding and fixing those errors (or "bugs," as they're often called) in your code. Every programmer spends a lot of time debugging, so it's a super important skill to learn.
