Intro

“Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing aprogram in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can bewhen you write it, how will you ever debug it?”

BrianKernighan,ComputerScientist

“As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprisethat it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had thought.Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exactinstant when I realized that a large part of my life from then onwas going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.”

SirMauriceWilkes,ComputerScientist
