Function Details: breakpoint

Description

Drops you into the debugger at the call site.

Extended Description

The breakpoint() function is a convenient way to enter the debugger at a specific point in your code. By default, it calls sys.breakpointhook(), which in turn calls pdb.set_trace(). However, this can be overridden by setting the PYTHONBREAKPOINT environment variable. This function is particularly useful for debugging complex programs or for educational purposes when explaining program flow.
