The video tutorial by Aishwarya Saxena from Purple Tutor covers the topic of debugging in programming. It begins with an introduction to debugging, explaining it as the process of finding and fixing errors in code. The tutorial then discusses two main types of errors: syntax errors, which are violations of language rules, and logic errors, which occur when the code is correct but produces incorrect results. The video outlines steps for debugging, including checking for basic errors, examining error lines, and using a top-down approach. A debugging checklist is provided, emphasizing the importance of checking syntax and using reference materials. Finally, the tutorial offers advice on error prevention and testing, such as embracing strong programming practices and testing code with variable boundary values.
