Step, Next, and Breakpoints
Explore how to use gdb commands to debug C programs by stepping through code line-by-line, setting breakpoints, and printing variable values. Understand how to control program execution flow during debugging to identify issues and monitor changes in variables, especially in recursive functions.

As we execute the program, we can step through the program one line or function at a time. We can also set conditional and unconditional breakpoints in the program.
Breakpoints
Breakpoints are used to break execution at a specified line, function, or file. If you want to set up a breakpoint at line 6, enter the following command in the gdb mode:
gdb) break 6
gdb) run
