Question 2 • VA-Information Technology Fundamentals B

Which of the following responses to an error alert are appropriate? Choose all that apply.

Answer

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.

Read the alert and see if the problem happens again before taking any action.

Explanation

A is appropriate because running test data can help confirm the error and trace where it originates. Checking variable-name spelling and looking for code that breaks the language’s conventions are also useful ways to find programming errors. D is not appropriate: after reading an error alert, you should investigate and correct the problem rather than simply wait to see if it happens again.
