Error Handling and Debugging
Students will learn common types of errors (syntax, logic, runtime) and strategies for debugging code effectively.
Key Questions
- Analyze the difference between a syntax error and a logic error, providing examples of each.
- Explain effective strategies for systematically locating and fixing bugs in a program.
- Predict how a small change in code could introduce new errors or fix existing ones.
