Ruby - Ecosystem and Best Practices

AUse <code>puts</code> statements to print all numbers

BInsert <code>byebug</code> at the start of the method without any condition

CInsert <code>binding.pry</code> inside the loop with a condition to pause only if the number is negative

DRun the program without breakpoints and guess the error

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand conditional breakpoints
Using binding.pry with a condition lets you pause only when needed, saving time.
Step 2: Compare other options
Using byebug without condition pauses every time, puts is less interactive, guessing is ineffective.
Final Answer:
Insert binding.pry inside the loop with a condition to pause only if the number is negative -> Option C
Quick Check:
Conditional breakpoint with binding.pry = A [OK]

Quick Trick: Use conditional binding.pry to pause only on negative numbers [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Pausing unconditionally causing many stops
Relying only on print statements
Ignoring debugging tools
