Students learn about:

• the use of good programming practice, including: – a clear and uncluttered mainline – one logical task per subroutine – use of stubs – appropriate use of control structures and data structures – writing for subsequent maintenance – version control – regular backup – recognition of relevant social and ethical issues • the process of detecting and correcting errors, including: – types of error

• syntax errors
• logic errors
• runtime errors, including:
• arithmetic overflow
• division by zero
• accessing inappropriate memory locations – methods of error detection and correction
• use of flags
• methodical approach to the isolation of logic errors
• use of debugging output statements
• peer checking
• desk checking
• structured walkthrough
• comparison of actual with expected output • the use of software debugging tools, including: – use of breakpoints – resetting variable contents – program traces – single line stepping

Students learn to:

• employ good programming practice when developing code • justify the use of a clear modular structure with separate routines to ease the design and debugging process • differentiate between types of errors • recognise the cause of a specific error and determine how to correct it • effectively use a variety of appropriate error correction techniques to locate the cause of a logic error and then correct it

@DanTroYer you should be good to check over this one.
