The function debugUnderTheHood is made for debugging. It does this by examining any given value in a different thread. The function accepts a single parameter - value, of type Any?. This allows it to take any value, including null.
When called, the function creates a new Thread object named debugThread. Inside this thread, it first fetches the current thread's name and saves it as threadName. It then prints a message specifying the debugger thread's name and the value it's inspecting.
The thread simulates reaching a breakpoint by invoking Thread.sleep(1000). This halts the thread for 1000 milliseconds - equivalent to 1 second. After this pause, it prints a message indicating that execution is resuming.
Finally, outside the thread but still inside the function, the method debugThread.start() is called, initiating the execution of debugThread. Immediately following, debugThread.join() is called. This makes the main thread pause until debugThread has finished executing.
An example call like debugUnderTheHood("Debug this string") is shown. This would pass the string "Debug this string" to the function for debugging.
Arrange your code lines properly for the program to execute correctly.
