How to debug your program
- get it to compile
- Comment out all code but your first loop that gets a valid input
- Have it output the number when done. Run and fix it until it works.
- Uncomment the code that does the counting.
- Make sure that the loop for the correct input that is inside this loop is the same code as what you debugged first
- Add code to output each of your counters inside the loop.
- Run the code. Make sure it is counting correctly for each color and your total counter. Fix the code that you need to.
- Uncomment your output code
- See if it works now. If you are getting 0's, check a different hint.
- If this is taking more than 15 minutes or you are getting frustrated, ask for help
- When it works, remove all your debugging output statements
