Debugging is defined as the process of finding, tracking programming errors or bugs, and

correcting them. Functions exist not only in Python, but in almost every program language,
because it is necessary and useful to arrange and simplify the code, in such case it is important
to discuss about when the function fail in some way and are three possibilities to cause a
function failure.

1. There is something wrong with the arguments the function is getting, a precondition

is violated; it is what you need at the start to the function do and generate the desire
outcome.

example:

def somefunction(x,y):

 z = x+y

 return z

somefunction(d,33)

#A string being used instead of an integer for our arguments.

Output:
Exception has occurred: NameError

name 'd' is not defined

File "C:\Users\Julio PC\Desktop\100 days of python\projeto vs code\Pyhtoning.py", line 4, in

<module> somefunction(d,33)

2. There is something wrong with the function; a postcondition is violated. It happens after the function
complete, when the syntax is correct but when you run the code produce a wrong result.

example:

def somefunction(x,y):

 print (x*y)

somefunction(3,2)

Output:
6

It happens because the Precondition would be that x and y must be integers and the post
condition would be that the function must produce the sum of x and y.

3. There is something wrong with the return value or the way it is being used.
Example

def somefunction(x,y):

 z = (x+y)

 return str(z)

any = somefunction(5,9) * 2

print (any)

Output:
1414

what happens is the variable z is returned as a string producing 14 and after 14 doing this 2
times, instead of multiplier 14 to 2 which would be 28.
