In VS Code debugging for Node.js, what does the 'Step Over' button do when you reach a function call?
AExecutes the function without entering it and pauses at the next line
BSkips the function call entirely without executing it
CEnters inside the function to debug line by line
DStops the debugging session immediately
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand 'Step Over' behavior

    'Step Over' runs the current line including any function calls but does not enter inside the function; it pauses at the next line after the call.

  2. Step 2: Differentiate from other controls

    'Step Into' enters the function, 'Step Out' exits a function, and stopping ends debugging.

  3. Final Answer:

    Executes the function without entering it and pauses at the next line -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Step Over = run function, pause next line [OK]
Quick Trick: Use Step Over to skip inside function details [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing Step Over with Step Into
  • Thinking Step Over skips function execution
  • Assuming Step Over stops debugging
