debugging - (v) finding and fixing problems in your algorithm or program. 

program - (n) an algorithm that has been coded into a language that can be run by a machine (a binary language, meaning it is based on using only 1 and 0).

computer science - (noun) the science th at deals with methods of:

  1. processing information in digital computers,
