Question 14 • Introduction to Information Technology - EL3701

A program is run line by line to determine the source of a logic error. Which best describes the specific tool being used?

Answer
A
compiler
B
interpreter
C
stepping function
D
beta tester

Explanation

Running a program line by line to track down a logic error describes using a stepping function. It lets you pause or advance through execution one line at a time and inspect what the program does. A compiler translates code, while an interpreter executes it; neither term specifically means stepping through execution for debugging.
