Step Into advances execution one line at a time and enters functions called by the current code. In VS Code, press F11 to follow your own functions during debugging. section 8.2.2
Use Step Into to inspect what happens inside a function call:
- Pause at a breakpoint, select Step Into, and continue through the called function line by line. section 8.2.2
- Expect the debugger to enter functions you wrote, while usually running standard-library calls such as word.lower() without opening them. section 8.2.2
- Choose Step Over instead when you want to remain in the current function and execute the called function to completion. section 8.2.2
Listing 8.4 Incorrect count_words function for debugging
def count_words(words):
count = 0
for word in words:
if "dan" in word.lower():
count += 1
return count
words = ["Dan", "danger", "Leo"] #1
print(count_words(words)) #1
Use the incorrect count_words example to follow how execution moves from the main code into count_words during debugging. section 8.2.2
