dd & dump Function

dd()

The dd function is a debugging helper function that prints each parameter to the console and then stops script execution.

This function accepts any number of parameters of any type. Each parameter is printed to the console with a label indicating the order of the parameter.

After all parameters are printed, this function will stop script execution by calling process.exit(). This means that after you call this function, any code that comes after it will not be executed.

This function accepts any number of parameters of any type. Each parameter is printed to the console with a label indicating the order of the parameter.
