19-3 Debugging a Program

A problem in a program that keeps the program from running correctly is called a
"bug," and the process of eliminating such problems is called "debugging." Either of
the following symptoms indicates that your program contains bugs and that debug-
ging is required.

• Error messages appearing when the program is run
