Aptana Studio’s built-in debugger aids developers in identifying and resolving JavaScript issues by enabling breakpoints, variable inspection, and step-by-step code execution. It allows real-time monitoring of variables and expressions, providing insights into the application’s state during runtime.
For example, consider a scenario where a developer encounters an unexpected behavior in their code:
function calculateSum(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
let result = calculateSum(5, "10");
Using Aptana Studio’s debugger, the developer can set a breakpoint at the return statement within the calculateSum function. When the code execution reaches this point, it pauses, allowing the developer to inspect the values of a and b. They would notice that b is a string instead of a number, causing the concatenation issue. The developer can then fix the problem by ensuring both inputs are numbers before performing the calculation.
