Hmmm, I guess then it's time for me to ask this question: Is how I do this the way you do it?
I have been inserting lines like this: print("The program got here!") all over my python code whenever I want to know where the program went. If you want to know where your program went when something went wrong or when it triggers a if condition, how do you do it? Thanks!
