When your application runs, it will pause at this function. For example, if you write a function that is not returning what you expect it to, you can add a debugger statement to the first line of the function: function myBrokenFunction () This can be used to set 'breakpoints' in your application.

When most browsers encounters a `debugger` statement, execution of Javascript is stopped, and your browser will load its debugger. The debugger keyword can be used to debug your application.
