    πŸ” Testing: Checking if something works like it should. Think of it as trying out a new toy to see if it does all the things it's supposed to do. πŸ’‘ Debugging: Finding and fixing problems (bugs) when something doesn't work right. It's like being a detective and solving a mystery! πŸ“ Testing comes first: Usually, you test something *before* you try to debug it. You need to know there's a problem *before* you can fix it! πŸ’» Bugs are errors: Bugs are mistakes in the code that cause problems. Debugging is how we get rid of those mistakes.
