To move forward with WebAssembly debugging, we need a compiled WebAssembly module from a higher-level language that we can explore. In this lesson, we're going to use C++ code, given its powerful and flexible nature that produces efficient machine code, and its compatibility with WebAssembly.

Let's take a simple example. Consider the following C++ code that prints a greeting message to our beloved 'AlgoDaily' blog.

1#include <iostream>
2using namespace std;
3
4int main() {
5  cout << "Hello, AlgoDaily!";
6  return 0;
7}

This code does nothing more than printing 'Hello, AlgoDaily!' to the console. Now, imagine we want to utilize this C++ code in our web application. We would have to compile it to a WebAssembly module that can be used in the browser environment. There are several tools available for accomplishing this, and we will delve into this process more in subsequent lessons.

Once we have the WebAssembly module, our JavaScript code can utilize it and interact directly with this compiled code. Sounds like magic, doesn't it? But it's just good engineering! WebAssembly offers us the capacity to enhance web applications with parts written in languages like C++, extending possibilities for performance optimization, reusing legacy code, and more.

In the following lessons, we will dive deeper into the process of generating WebAssembly modules from C++, interfacing them in JavaScript, and most importantly debugging these modules.
