What is true about exceptions and debugging? (Select two answers.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Python is an interpreted programming language, which means that the source code is translated into executable code by an interpreter at runtime, rather than by a compiler beforehand. Interpreted languages are more flexible and portable than compiled languages, but they are also slower and less efficient. Assembly and machine languages are low-level languages that are directly executed by the hardware, while compiled languages are high-level languages that are translated into machine code by a compiler before execution.

D seems off, I thought the anonymous except could be last.

I vaguely recall something about the default except branch, but I can't remember if it can be the last one or not.

I think I've seen practice questions about try-except blocks, and I believe option C is true since you can have multiple except branches.

I'm not sure about option B; I feel like just because code runs without errors doesn't mean it's flawless.

I remember that a debugger is definitely a tool for tracing execution, so I think option A is correct.

A debugger helps you trace program execution, that's definitely true. But the other statements seem a bit trickier - I'll need to double-check my understanding.

B is true if you're a Jedi and your code runs on the Force instead of Python. May the debugger be with you!

B is definitely not true. Just because your code runs without errors doesn't mean it's bug-free. There could be all sorts of logical errors that don't raise exceptions.
