As we use binding.pry , but we use same debugger in ruby debugger.

And as per my knowledge debugger do same thing as binding.pry.If not than explain ?  

They do.  But there is a distinction in that one's only goal is to debug, the other is a cross-over tool who is stuck between deciding on if it's a REPL or a debugger.  By nature it has debugging tools but by theory it's just a more advanced way to test concepts without needing to jump in and out of the terminal (unless you use VI or other) to test ideas.

Most at #pry will probably not deny that Pry is a Debugger just as they will most probably not deny that Pry is a REPL which makes it a tranny (I had to) cross-over tool.  I remember Banister working hard to bring more debugging tools into Pry but I haven't talked to him for a while so I don't know if that's still the case.

So to address your question, I prefer Pry 90% of the time, I test all my concept code in Pry before writing it so I can work out pieces of the idea and make sure they are as bug free as possible without full testing, I also use it to debug pieces of code.  So hopefully this explains what I mean.

Thanks thanks lot for reply.....

i will use pry now.

But one question raised when  u used this lines, which as follows :-

1.   Pry is a REPL 

2.   cross-over tool

What this lines means.
