Learn and Master C Programming - Visual Studio Debug Menu

The video tutorial introduces the concept of debugging, tracing its history back to the first computer bug at Harvard University. It explains modern debugging as stepping through code to troubleshoot and resolve issues. The tutorial demonstrates debugging in Visual Studio, covering the debug menu, debugger, and breakpoints. It provides practical tips for using Visual Studio's debugging features, emphasizing the difference between running programs with and without debugging.

What is the modern definition of debugging?

• Writing new code for software

• Stepping through code to troubleshoot and resolve bugs

• Testing software for performance

• Finding and fixing hardware issues

Which of the following is NOT a part of the Visual Studio debug menu?

• Output window

• Exception settings

• Code editor

• Breakpoints

What is the primary function of the debugger in Visual Studio?

• To manage project files

• To attach to the program at runtime and control execution

• To compile the code

• To design the user interface

What is the difference between 'Start Debugging' and 'Start Without Debugging' in Visual Studio?

• 'Start Without Debugging' allows stepping through code

• 'Start Debugging' runs the program faster

• 'Start Without Debugging' compiles the code

• 'Start Debugging' uses the debugger to step through code

How can you find the entry point of a program in Visual Studio?

• By running the program in release mode

• By opening the project settings

• By using the code editor

• By clicking on 'Step Into' or 'Step Over'

What does the call stack show in Visual Studio?

• The list of all variables

• The program's memory usage

• The list of all breakpoints

• The current function and line number

What happens when you hit 'Continue' during debugging in Visual Studio?

• The program restarts

• The program stops immediately

• The program runs to the next breakpoint or end

• The program compiles again
