Stack trace

Okay kiddo, have you ever played with blocks before? You know how you stack them one on top of the other? A stack trace is kind of like that but for computer programs.

When you run a piece of code, the computer tries to follow its instructions step by step. But sometimes, there might be an error in the code that causes the computer to get stuck.

When this happens, the computer makes a stack trace to help figure out what went wrong. It's like looking at the tower of blocks you made and seeing where it fell over.

The stack trace shows a list of all the steps the program took before it got stuck, and where it was in the code when it happened. It's like a breadcrumb trail that helps the computer programmers find and fix the problem.

So, just like how you try to re-stack your blocks when they fall over, computer programmers use the stack trace to figure out what went wrong and fix it so the program can keep running smoothly.
