Question 13 • FL-8207310-Digital Information Technology B

What is a stepping function?

Answer
A
a function that allows users to select which portion of a software program they would like to use
B
a function that allows users to make helpful notes about error messages they encounter
C
a function in a compiler that enables programmers to indent code when creating subfunctions
D
a function in a compiler that enables programmers to run a program line by line and observe the current values of program variables

Explanation

A stepping function is a debugging feature that runs a program one line or step at a time. This lets programmers inspect the program’s behavior and see the current values of variables as execution proceeds. Therefore, the correct choice is the function that enables line-by-line execution and variable observation.
