Question

1 multiple choice 2 points what is debugging? storing data in variables running a program for the first time finding and fixing errors in your code writing new code from scratch 2 multiple choice 2 points what is the main purpose of writing commands in a programming language? to improve computer hardware to change the appearance of the computer to make computers understand human language to give instructions to the computer, which are then translated into machine language 3 multiple choice 2 points what is a \conditional\ in programming? a variable used to store data a command that checks for certain conditions and decides which actions to take a type of error a set of instructions that are always executed in order

Explanation:

1. Debugging is the process of finding and fixing errors in code. Storing data in variables is variable assignment. Running a program for the first time is just execution. Writing new code from scratch is coding.
2. Programming language commands are given to the computer, which are translated into machine language. It's not to improve hardware, change appearance, or directly make computers understand human language (compilers/translators do the work).
3. A conditional is a command that checks conditions and decides actions. A variable stores data. A type of error is an error. A set of always - executed instructions is a sequence (in control flow).

Answer:

1. Finding and fixing errors in your code
2. To give instructions to the computer, which are then translated into machine language
3. A command that checks for certain conditions and decides which actions to take
