  • Debugging - General Questions
6.
What is the purpose of the Python input() function during debugging?
Pauses the program execution and waits for user input
Prints debugging information to the console
Exits the program immediately
Sets a breakpoint in the code
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The input() function in Python pauses the program execution and waits for user input during debugging, allowing interaction with the program.
7.
In Python, what does the traceback module provide?
A way to change the execution flow of the program
Information about the flow of control and call stack during an error
The ability to insert breakpoints in the code
A graphical user interface for debugging
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The traceback module in Python provides information about the flow of control and call stack during an error, aiding in debugging.
8.
In Python, what is the purpose of the pdb.set_trace() function?
To insert a breakpoint in the code for debugging
To print debugging information to the console
To exit the program immediately
To step into a function or method call
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The pdb.set_trace() function is used to insert a breakpoint in the code for debugging, allowing interactive debugging at that point.
9.
What does the Python __debug__ variable control during program execution?
It enables or disables debugging globally
It determines whether assertions are executed or ignored
It checks if the Python interpreter is in debug mode
It sets the verbosity level of debugging output
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The __debug__ variable in Python controls whether assertions are executed or ignored. If it is True, assertions are executed; if False, they are ignored.
10.
What is the purpose of the Python yield statement in relation to debugging?
It sets a breakpoint in the code
It enables the debugger for a specific block of code
It signals the end of a debugging session
It facilitates the creation of generators for step-by-step debugging
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The yield statement in Python is used in generators and can be helpful for step-by-step debugging, allowing you to inspect the generator's state between iterations.
