Java ☕ Debugging

The video tutorial covers effective debugging strategies for programmers. It emphasizes understanding the big picture of a program, outlining code in pseudocode, and creating modular code for reusability. Practical examples demonstrate common errors and solutions, highlighting the importance of testing small parts of a program to avoid frustration and save time.

What is the primary goal of debugging in programming?

• To improve the user interface

• To add new features to the program

• To increase the program's speed

• To identify and fix errors in the program

Why is it important to understand the big picture of what you're programming?

• To make the code look more complex

• To avoid getting stuck on minor issues and focus on the overall goal

• To ensure you use the latest programming language

• To impress other programmers

What is the benefit of outlining your code before writing it?

• It helps in visualizing the program's logic in simple terms

• It reduces the number of lines of code

• It makes the code run faster

• It ensures the code is written in one go

What does modular programming help achieve?

• It makes the code harder to understand

• It increases the program's file size

• It allows for code reuse and easier debugging

• It makes the code more colorful

Why should you test small parts of your program separately?

• To make the program run slower

• To ensure each part works correctly before integrating

• To confuse other developers

• To avoid using too many files

What is the advantage of using a 'sandbox' project?

• To write code that is never used

• To test small features without affecting the main project

• To store unused code

• To make the main project more complex

What is a common error when writing a print statement in Java?

• Using single quotes instead of double quotes

• Forgetting to close the string with a double quote

• Writing the statement in a different language

• Using a semicolon at the beginning

How can you fix a variable name error in Java?

• By using a different programming language

• By using an underscore to combine words

• By removing all spaces

• By adding a space between words

What type of error occurs when the program runs but doesn't produce the expected output?

• Syntax error

• Logic error

• Compilation error

• Runtime error

What should you do if your program has a logic error?

• Ignore it and move on

• Recheck the logic and fix the code

• Change the programming language
