Trace table - GCSE Computer Science Definition

A trace table is a tool used to track and record the values of variables at each step in a computer program. It helps students understand how a program works by showing how the values change as the program runs. In the GCSE Computer Science course, students often use trace tables to debug or check their code by carefully following the execution of a program line by line. Each column in the table typically represents a variable and each row represents a step in the program, making it easier to see how data flows and identify any mistakes in the logic.
