Debugging a Program

Question 5 • VA-Information Technology Fundamentals B

Identify the problems that computer program bugs can cause. Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Program bugs can cause error messages.
B
Program bugs can cause computer viruses.
C
Program bugs can cause programs to halt while they are running.
D
Program bugs can cause software and hardware to miscommunicate.
E
Program bugs can provide unplanned results.

Explanation

Bugs are errors in a program’s code, so they can produce error messages, make a running program halt, or cause the program to communicate incorrectly with hardware. They can also make software behave in unexpected ways and produce unplanned results. A bug does not itself cause a computer virus; a virus is malicious software.
