Identify Characteristics of Errors Using the drop-down menus, select the best word or phrase that correctly completes each sentence.
It is ✔ very unlikely to avoid all computer-programming errors. Computer-programming errors must be ✔ discovered and corrected for a program to execute correctly and return anticipated results.
Identify Characteristics of Logic Errors Which of the following statements are true of logic errors? Choose all that apply.
Logic errors occur when the written instructions do not instruct the program to take the intended step. Logic errors often do not generate error messages. Logic errors result in unintended results.
Identify Ways to Address Syntax Errors Which of the following responses to an error alert are appropriate? Choose all that apply.
Run the program with test data to verify the results and trace the source of the problem. Verify that variable names are spelled correctly. Search for language that does not follow the programming language conventions.
Identify Characteristics of Run-Time Errors Identify the correct statements about run-time errors. Choose all that apply.
Run-time errors occur when the program is running. Run-time errors cause the program to halt. Run-time errors occur when a numeric value is expected but a text value is entered. Run-time errors occur when a text value is expected but a numeric value is entered.
Identify Syntax Error Causes Which of the following is true about syntax errors?
Syntax errors are specific to a specific programming language.
Describe the Effects of Programming Errors Programming errors can result in a number of different conditions. Choose all that apply.
The program will halt execution. An error message will be displayed. Incorrect results will occur.
Which of the following are likely to be considered when addressing logic errors in code? Choose all that apply.
Your original program may need changes. The code may need to be tested and retested.
Describe the Type of Common Programming Error Using the drop-down menus, complete these sentences defining the three common types of programming errors.
logic errors are due to a mistake in the program; they do not cause the program to stop running, but they do produce unintended results Run-time errors are sue to mistakes in the execution of commands; they cause the running of the program to halt Syntax errors are sue to misuse of the convention of the programming language
Identify Characteristics of Syntax Errors Identify the characteristics of syntax errors. Choose all that apply.
programmer did not follow the program language conventions may be highlighted while writing the program can be caused by mistyping or misspelling while writing the program
Identify Typical Syntax Errors What are the likely causes of syntax errors? Choose all that apply
