Computer Chapter 3 : Topic 5.6
Set breakpoints to debug code
1 / 9
A student is debugging a JavaScript program and wants to stop execution at a specific line to observe variable behavior. What is the primary purpose of setting a breakpoint in this scenario?
Reasoning: A breakpoint pauses program execution so the programmer can inspect variables and program flow at a chosen point.
2 / 9
While using browser developer tools, a student clicks on a line number to set a breakpoint in JavaScript code. What will most likely happen during execution?
Reasoning: Setting a breakpoint causes the debugger to pause execution when that line is reached.
3 / 9
A programmer sets a breakpoint inside a loop to observe how an array value changes on each iteration. What is the main benefit of this approach?
Reasoning: Breakpoints inside loops help observe how values change during each iteration.
4 / 9
Why is setting a breakpoint more effective than using multiple console.log() statements in complex JavaScript programs?
Reasoning: Breakpoints allow inspection without continuously editing code for logging outputs.
5 / 9
A student places a breakpoint before a conditional statement in JavaScript. What is the main purpose of doing this?
Reasoning: Pausing before conditions helps verify whether variables lead to correct logical decisions.
6 / 9
When debugging a JavaScript function, a breakpoint is set at the first line inside the function. What does this allow the programmer to observe?
Reasoning: A breakpoint at function entry allows inspection of input values and step-by-step execution.
7 / 9
A student notices that a program behaves incorrectly only after a loop runs multiple times. Where should a breakpoint be most effectively placed?
Reasoning: Placing a breakpoint inside the loop helps observe behavior during each iteration.
8 / 9
What is the key advantage of setting multiple breakpoints in different sections of a JavaScript program?
Reasoning: Multiple breakpoints help analyze how control moves through different parts of the program.
9 / 9
A programmer sets a breakpoint but the code still runs without stopping. What is the most likely reason?
Reasoning: Breakpoints only work when the debugging tool is enabled and execution is started in debug mode. ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
