Pearson 1CP2 - 1.1 - Good Programming Practice and IDEs

What is the purpose of autocomplete in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)?

• To check the syntax of the code

• To help reduce the number of errors by suggesting possible word completions

• To automatically indent code after typing a colon

• To highlight different parts of the syntax

What does auto-indentation in an IDE help with when writing Python code?

• It suggests variable names that don't exist.

• It automatically indents the code after typing a colon, which is part of Python's syntax.

• It checks for missing brackets or quotes in the code.

• It provides suggestions for reserved words.

Which of the following is NOT a type of error that syntax checking in an IDE might highlight?

• Misspelling key words

• Using identifier names that don't exist

• Suggesting words in a pop-up window

• Missing colons

Which option best describes the role of syntax in programming languages?

• The color scheme used in an IDE to highlight code

• The library of functions available in a programming language

• The rules governing the structure and composition of statements in a programming language

• The efficiency of algorithms implemented in a programming language

Which feature of an IDE allows for the examination and modification of variables during the execution of a program?

• To compile code more efficiently

• To refactor code automatically

• Stepping through code

• To manage project files and resources

What happens when a breakpoint is set on a line in a program?

• The program will skip the line and continue execution

• The program will terminate immediately

• The program will pause before executing the line

• The program will execute the line multiple times

What does the IDE display when a program is paused on a breakpoint?

• A red 'stop' icon

• A green 'run' icon

• A green bug icon

• The line with the breakpoint highlighted

What is the purpose of the 'Step over' action in a debugger?

• To execute the entire program until it completes

• To execute the current line and move to the next line without entering any subprograms

• To terminate the program immediately

• To continue execution until the next breakpoint is encountered

What happens when you use the 'Step into' action in a debugger?

• The debugger will move to the next line of code outside the current subprogram

• The debugger will pause the program execution permanently

• The debugger will execute the current line and enter the called subprogram

• The debugger will skip over the execution of the current line

Which type of error doesn't relate to the way code has been produced.

• Syntax errors

• Runtime errors

• Logic errors

• Network errors
