Explain the role of the debugger keyword in JS?
Ans :- The debugger keyword in JavaScript is used to halt the program’s execution at the point you implement it. It helps you to control the code execution and its flow in a manual manner.

The debugger keyword stops the execution of JavaScript, and calls (if available) the debugging function.
This has the same function as setting a breakpoint in the debugger.
ex:
<p id="demo"></p>
<p>With the debugger turned on, the code below should stop executing before it executes the third line.</p>
<script>
let x = 15 * 5;
debugger;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
</script>
o/p:
75
With the debugger turned on, the code below should stop executing before it executes the third line.
