Reading notes taken while attending Code Fellows classes.

Breakpoint is a tag set on a specific line where the debugger should pause (break) the running process and display the Debug Tool which has debug information about the current state.
Step-to-next-line is a debug function that moves the process one step forward in the current scope.
Step-inside-function-call is a debug function that step into a method on the line where the breakpoint is placed then each step will visit any other methods in the order of execution.
Step-out-of-function-call lets the program continue until a return or its equivalent is encountered. Generally this is used once finished examining whatever value is in question and now want to see where it is used.
