1.2.8 Identifying and correcting errors:

• What is an example of a runtime error in programming?

  Division by zero
• Match each debugging tool with the type of error it detects:

  Compiler/Interpreter ↔️ Syntax Errors

  Debugger ↔️ Runtime and Logic Errors

  Print Statements ↔️ All Error Types
• What type of errors can a debugger help identify?

  Runtime errors
• A missing semicolon is a common syntax error in languages like Java
• What is an example of a logic error in programming?

  Calculating average without summing
• What is the primary role of a debugger in identifying errors?

  Diagnose runtime errors
• Debugging tools are used to identify and correct different types of errors
• The Compiler/Interpreter detects runtime errors.

  False
• Print statements can help identify syntax errors by highlighting issues
• Forgetting to end a statement with a semicolon is a common syntax error.


  True
• A syntax error occurs when there is a violation of programming language rules
• A logic error occurs when a program crashes during execution.

  False
• A compiler identifies syntax errors before program execution
• Order the steps to correct syntax errors in code:

  1️⃣ Identify the error type

  2️⃣ Locate the error in the code

  3️⃣ Apply the correct fix

  4️⃣ Retest the code
• Misspelled variable names can cause syntax errors.


  True
• Match each error type with its definition:

  Syntax Error ↔️ Violation of language rules

  Runtime Error ↔️ Error during execution

  Logic Error ↔️ Flawed program logic
• Syntax errors prevent a program from running at all.


  True
• A compiler identifies syntax errors before program execution
• What do debugging tools help improve in programs?

  Reliability and correctness
• Match the debugging tool with the type of errors it can identify:

  Compiler/Interpreter ↔️ Syntax Errors

  Debugger ↔️ Runtime Errors

  Print Statements ↔️ Logic Errors
• Which debugging tool can help uncover logic errors by stepping through code?

  Debugger
• Steps to correct syntax errors in programming

  1️⃣ Identify the error type

  2️⃣ Understand the error definition

  3️⃣ Review the example

  4️⃣ Apply the correction
• What type of error occurs when a variable name is misspelled?

  Syntax error
• What type of error occurs when an incorrect or undefined operator is used?

  Syntax error
• Which technique for correcting logic errors involves carefully following the program's logic to identify deviations from expected behavior?

  Tracing code execution
• Elements of a comprehensive test plan for verifying code corrections

  1️⃣ Test Cases

  2️⃣ Expected Outcomes

  3️⃣ Steps to Validate

  4️⃣ Test Data

  5️⃣ Success Criteria
• Testing corrections systematically ensures the reliability and stability of code.


  True
• Mismatched parentheses can cause a syntax error due to an uneven number of opening and closing symbols
• Logic errors are easier to identify than syntax errors.

  False
• Match the technique for correcting logic errors with its description:

  Debugging Tools ↔️ Inspect variable values

  Tracing Code Execution ↔️ Follow program logic

  Testing with Different Inputs ↔️ Expose edge cases
• Testing with different inputs helps expose logic errors that only manifest with certain conditions
• What are specific inputs or conditions used to test the program's behavior called?

  Test cases
