Basic Demo Session

This chapter takes you step‑by‑step through the basic demo session. Performing the demo at a terminal is the best way to begin learning about this application. If a terminal is not available, then read this chapter as a paper demo.

The basic demo session shows many of the testing and debugging tasks you will use on your own programs. These tasks are discussed in more detail in the next chapter. For more information on any topic discussed in this book, see the User Guide.
