Troubleshooting Questions
Definition
Debugging questions test your ability to fix broken code or identify why an application is behaving unexpectedly. ### Scenario *"A user complains that their request is hanging indefinitely and eventually timing out, but the server hasn't crashed. What is the most likely cause?"* **Expected Answer:** A middleware function or route handler is likely missing a call to `next()`, `res.send()`, or `res.json()`. In Express, if you do not explicitly end the request-response cycle or pass control to the next middleware, the request will hang in limbo forever until the browser times out.
