As many of the students are facing problems in programming languages. Most exciting task to teach such languages is with the development of logical skills of the students while learning programming language courses. Also, most of the programming language courses are evaluated with only problem definitions or remember/understanding level basic questions. Students may be very less experienced to write full solution/missing/incorrect code for the given task. Secondly, by writing solution from scratch is not the only way to work with IT industry. There are many more situations where students may need to perform equally. Such situations may be found based on industry to industry work culture, type of requirements, coding style etc. Best technique i.e. troubleshooting & debugging that can be used to build logical skills and cover up said industry demands.

Also, most of the programming language courses are evaluated with only problem definitions or remember/understanding level basic questions. Students may be very less experienced to write full solution/missing/incorrect code for the given task. Secondly, by writing solution from scratch is not the only way to work with IT industry. There are many more situations where students may need to perform equally. Such situations may be found based on industry to industry work culture, type of requirements, coding style etc. Best technique i.e. troubleshooting & debugging that can be used to build logical skills and cover up said industry demands.
