Seeking Effective Debugging Search Strategies for Code Errors

[Mustafa Seyyid Sahin]

Hello everyone! I'm currently facing a challenge in identifying errors in my code and I'm curious about the best ways to search for specific topics and solutions. This includes searching both on the web and within the MetaEditor. For instance, I've been advised to use Google search like "site:mql5.com keyword1, keyword2". Are there any other efficient methods or specialized search techniques you would recommend to find targeted information? Thank you in advance for your assistance!

You identify errors in the code by ...

1. ... learning the language well (reference the online Book and Documentation).
2. ... paying attention to the compile errors and warnings. Do not ignore the warnings. Always fix them as they are potential runtime issues.
3. ... adding "Prints" so that you get output in the log when analysing runtime issues, especially the error codes so that you can reference them in the documentation.
   
4. ... using the built-in debugger in MetaEditor to debug your code.
