Consider the following Action (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L6qUwd2jjqWAluUB-Kv5gQghendWoMr2/view?usp=sharing), that calculates the square root (sqrt) of a positive decimal number (N). Knowing that the function was called with N = 0, and the debugger is stopped at the Start node, what will happen when the developer selects the Continue (F9) option highlighted in the picture?

AThe Action will end, with sqrt = 0.

BThe Action will throw an exception and sqrt will have no value.

CThe debugger will stop in the N < 0 If node.

DThe debugger will stop at the breakpoint in the End node.

I'm going with option B - it's gotta throw an exception. I mean, come on, dividing by zero? That's like the first thing they teach you in programming 101. Although, I'd love to see the developer's face if the debugger just shrugged and stopped at the N < 0 node. That would be a real 'mic drop' moment.

I think it will throw an exception too. Dividing by zero is a big no-no.

Option D seems like the safest bet. The debugger will stop at the breakpoint in the End node, which is the responsible thing to do. But you know what they say, 'expect the unexpected' - maybe the action will just explode and leave the developer scratching their head.

Yeah, I agree. It's always good to be prepared for unexpected errors.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option C. If N is 0, the debugger should stop at the N < 0 node, right? That's the logical choice. Although, I can't help but wonder if the developer secretly programmed in a surprise ending where the action just ends with sqrt = 0.

Yeah, it makes sense considering N is 0. The developer probably set it up that way.

I think option B is the way to go. Dividing by zero is a big no-no, so it's gotta throw an exception. Although, it'd be pretty funny if the debugger just stopped at the N < 0 node instead. What is this, amateur hour?

I think the debugger stopping at the N < 0 node would be a bit unexpected. But hey, anything can happen in coding, right?

Yeah, throwing an exception makes sense. Can't have undefined values floating around.

I'm not so sure, I think the debugger might just stop at the N < 0 node instead.

Yeah, I think so too. It's a common mistake that would definitely throw an exception.

Well, if N is 0, then the square root should be 0, so option A seems correct. But I wonder what happens if N is negative - will it throw an exception or just stop at the N < 0 node?
