A student wrote the following C language program. Use it to answer the question that follows.
1. #include<stdio.h>
2. main()
3. {
4. int i, sum =0;
5. int num[6] = {30, 40, 60, 10, 25, 38):
6. for (i=0; i<6; i++)
7. {
8.Sum=sum +num[i];
9.if(i==3)
10.break;
11.}
12. printf("%d", sum):
13.}
Interpret the program line by line

2. Explain the term bug as used in programming
3. Differentiate between function call and function definition as used in C language
4. The following was executed in a C language program. (7%2) *3+4 <5 Showing the working, state the Boolean output generated
5. A student is graded based on exam performance and class attendance. When the performance is above 50% and class attendance greater than 75%, the student is awarded "Pass".
