1. Copy the following into a new Python file:

discount.py

def calculate_total(price, quantity):
    total = price * quantity  # Line 3
    return total  # Line 4

def apply_discount(total, discount):
    return total - (total * discount)  # Line 6

def main():
    price = 100
    quantity = 5
    discount = 10  #
    total = calculate_total(price, quantity)  # Line 10
    total_after_discount = apply_discount(total)  # Line 11
    print(f"Total after discount: {total_after_discount}")  # Line 12

main()

1. Set Up Debugging Mode

• Open the Run and Debug panel (Ctrl + Shift + D).

• Click "Run and Debug" and choose "Python File".

1. Add Breakpoints

• Click to the left of the line numbers to set breakpoints at:

  • Line 3 (where total is calculated)

  • Line 6 (where discount is applied)

  • Line 10 (when calculate_total is called)

  • Line 11 (when apply_discount is called)

1. Run the Debugger

• Press F5 to start debugging.

• Use F10 to step over each line and inspect variables in the Variables panel.

• Use the Debug Console to check variable values.

1. Identify the mistakes, correct them, and rerun the program to verify your fix.
