What Is a Bug?
In the exciting world of coding, we often talk about something called a 'bug.' But what is a bug? Well, a bug is a special word we use to describe a mistake in our code! 🐛 The fun part is that the word 'bug' comes from a real story about a little moth that got stuck inside an old computer and made it stop working. Can you imagine that? Now, whenever something in our code doesn’t work the way we want it to, coders say, 'Oh no! There’s a bug!' This means it’s time for a fun adventure called a bug hunt! During a bug hunt, coders become detectives, searching for clues to find the mistake and fix it. Just like solving a mystery, it can be really exciting! So remember, bugs are just little mistakes that we can find and fix together, making our coding even better!

Why this matters: What Is a Bug? helps learners in Coding connect ideas from Pre-K Coding Adventures to decisions they make during practice and assessment. Keep the explanation friendly and practical.
Step-by-step approach: (1) define the goal in one sentence, (2) identify evidence that supports the goal, (3) explain how each piece of evidence changes your conclusion, and (4) verify the final answer against the original goal and constraints.
