Problem:

Computer programs often have errors in them. Which of the following is an acceptable debugging strategy for identifying the source of an error in a program?

1. Inserting println statements that print out the values of variables at given checkpoints
2. Using a debugger in an Integrated Development Environment to analyze the code as it executes
3. Going through the code "by hand" one instruction at a time, writing down values for variables and tracking the program's execution

1. II only
2. I and II only
3. II and III only
4. I, II, and III
