What is the primary advantage of using breakpoints instead of console.log() for debugging?
Breakpoints offer significant advantages over console.log(): 1) They pause execution at specific points without requiring code modifications, 2) They provide access to the full program state, including all variables in scope, 3) You can examine and modify variables during the debugging session, 4) The call stack is accessible, showing how the program reached that point, 5) You can step through code execution line by line to follow program flow, 6) Conditional breakpoints can pause only when specific conditions are met, 7) No need to remove debugging code after finding the issue, unlike console.log(), 8) Breakpoints provide a much more comprehensive view of the application state at any given moment, making complex bugs easier to track down.
