// TODO: Create a tutorial on how to debug parallel programs using OpenMP in Visual Studio

// remember to add pictures if possible

// Steps

1. Read the Microsoft Documentation for your section

2. Paraphrase the contents of your section onto the Wiki

3. Test it yourself in Visual Studio and add examples

// documentation for windows are here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/debug-threads-and-processes?view=vs-2022

Walkthrough

// TODO: Step-by-step walkthrough on how to debug program with the specific window

// use same program for both tests

// can probably just take something from course notes and modify it to fit our parameters
