How to use breakpoints in Vscode for debugging

In this video, I run through the fundamentals of debugging within the Visual Studio Code IDE, using examples in Python. Vscode has very comprehensive debugging capabilities, and breakpoints are a very fundamental part of this!

First we debug a simple "hello world" script, followed by a simple FastAPI application, exploring how to pause and examine the objects and methods being executed from inside the IDE.

Hey John could you please help me with this. I did run in 2 parts of code and i would only need to run the second part of the code how can i do so? I would like to try to run the computer guess part only.

import random

def guess(x):
random_number = random.randint(1, x)
guess = 0
while guess != random_number:
guess = int(input(f"guess a number between 1 and {x}: "))
if guess < random_number:
print("Sorry, guess again. Too low")
elif guess > random_number:
print("Sorry, guess again. Too high.")
print(f"Congrats. You have guessed the number {random_number}")

def computer_guess(x):
low = 1
high = x
feedback = ""
while feedback != "c":
if low != high:
guess = random.randint(low, high)
else:
guess = low # could also be high bc low = high
feedback = input(f"is {guess} too high (H), too low (L), or correct (C)").lower()
if feedback == "h":
high = guess - 1
elif feedback =="l":
low = guess + 1

print("You did it, you robot, {guess}, correctly")


guess(10)
