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

AA tool that allows you to precisely trace program execution is called a debugger.

BIf some Python code is executed without errors, this proves that there are no errors in it.

COne try-except block may contain more than one except branch.

DThe default (anonymous) except branch cannot be the last branch in the try-except block.

Show Suggested 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.

Wait, is it really true that B means no errors?

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.

I'm pretty confident about exceptions and debugging. I'll select the two answers I'm sure are correct and move on.

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.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to review my notes on exception handling and debugging tools to make sure I get this right.

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.
