Stepper

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A debugger feature that executes code one statement, line, or instruction at a time, allowing the developer to observe state changes at each step. Common operations include step-over (execute the current line), step-into (enter a called function), and step-out (run until the current function returns).

    In plain English: A debugging tool that lets you run your program one line at a time so you can see exactly what's happening at each step.

    Example: "I set a breakpoint at the loop and used the stepper to watch the accumulator change on every iteration."
