debugging
document error and how it was fixed

what are watchers main purpose?
track variable values in real time while a program runs.
Specifically, Watchers allow you to:
See the current value of a variable
Check if a variable is updating correctly
Identify logic errors (wrong math, wrong variable, wrong order)
Confirm user input is being stored properly

200
expression
combination of operators and values
200
Global vs Local variable

latency vs bandwidth
Bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a network path (capacity), while latency is the time delay for a packet to travel from source to destination (speed). Think of bandwidth as the number of lanes on a highway (how much traffic fits) and latency as the speed limit or travel time.

Why is lossless compression preferred for text files?
Because no data is removed, preserving accuracy.
500

variable scope
dictates what portions of the code can "see" or use a variable
