Exploring Computer Bugs and Debugging

What is a computer bug?

• A software update

• A hardware issue

• A mistake or problem in a code

• A type of insect

What is the process of finding and fixing mistakes in a code called?

• Compiling

• Debugging

• Coding

• Programming

In the first example, what was the issue with the code made of shapes?

• Shapes were not grouped

• Shapes were too big

• Shapes were missing

• Shapes were not the same color

In the second example, what was the problem with the shapes?

• Shapes were not the same size

What was wrong with the pattern in the third example?

• Pattern was missing shapes

• Pattern was not symmetrical

• Pattern was out of order

• Pattern was not the right color

What can computer bugs also appear in, besides codes?

• Hardware

• Databases

• Algorithms

What is one way to handle frustration when debugging?

• Ignore the problem

• Ask someone else to do it

• Keep working without breaks

• Take a break

Why is it important to be persistent when debugging?

• To impress others

• To finish quickly

• To avoid mistakes

• To ensure the code works correctly

What should you do if you become frustrated while debugging?

• Take a walk

• Give up

• Work faster

• Ignore the problem

What is the main goal of debugging?

• To write new code

• To find and fix mistakes

• To test hardware
