What is the purpose of a debugged program?

To prevent runtime errors
To create an interface for users
To find interesting patterns in data
To optimize database performance

The correct answer is: To prevent runtime errors

Debugging is the process of identifying and removing errors in a program's code. This means that the purpose of a debugged program is to prevent runtime errors, which are disruptions or malfunctions that occur while the program is running. Option B is incorrect because creating an interface for users is a separate function of programming and does not necessarily ensure a program's accuracy. Option C is incorrect because finding interesting patterns in data is also not related to debugging or preventing runtime errors. Option D is incorrect because optimizing database performance is a specific task that may be part of programming, but it is not the overall purpose of debugging.
