The process of finding and removing any of the three kinds of programming errors.   Debugging  
🗑
The structure of a program, and the rules about that structure is called its?   Syntax  
🗑
An error in a program that makes it impossible to parse (and therefore impossible to interpret.)   Syntax Error

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
