Understanding Algorithms and Debugging

Which of the following best describes an algorithm?

• A random list of numbers

• A list of steps to finish a task

• A type of computer

• A programming language

What is the main purpose of debugging in programming?

• To make the program run faster

• To find and fix errors in programs

• To add more features to the program

• To change the program's language

Which of the following is an example of a bug in a program?

• The program runs without any issues

• The program displays an error message and stops

• The program has a user-friendly interface

• The program is written in Python

What is the difference between an algorithm and a program?

• An algorithm is a type of computer, while a program is a type of software

• An algorithm is a list of steps, while a program is an algorithm coded to run on a machine

• An algorithm is written in code, while a program is written in plain language

• An algorithm is a finished product, while a program is a work in progress

Why is it important to debug a program?

• To make the program look more attractive

• To ensure the program runs as expected without errors

• To change the program's purpose

• To convert the program into a different language

Which of the following tasks would require debugging?

• Writing a new program from scratch

• Fixing an error that causes the program to crash

• Designing a user interface

• Translating code into another language

If a program is not running as expected, what is the first step you should take?

• Rewrite the entire program

• Check for bugs and start debugging

• Change the programming language

• Add more features to the program

What is the role of an algorithm in programming?

• To serve as a blueprint for writing a program

• To execute the program on a computer

• To store data in a database

• To design the user interface

Which of the following statements is true about a program?

• A program is a list of steps that cannot be executed

• A program is an algorithm that has been coded to run on a machine

• A program is a type of hardware

• A program is a random collection of code

What is the outcome of successful debugging?

• The program runs with more errors

• The program runs as expected without errors

• The program becomes slower

• The program's code is completely changed
