The process where the programmer steps through each of the program's statements one by one is called
.

Answer:
<u>the first friend</u>
Explanation:
It is important to <em>remember </em>that a core is the brain of the CPU (central processing unit), which means one who has a dual-core is having <em>"a dual brain" </em><em>to process information faster.</em>
Consider also, IT experts often acknowledge that in terms of speed of execution, it is proven that, "dual-core systems" are <em>faster</em> (even twice faster) than a "single-core system". The other friends were wrong because they disagreed with a widely accepted fact that dual-core is faster than single-core; and of course, <em>we know that without them being faster they can't run twice the applications and twice the data. </em>
Therefore, we can make the conclusion that the first friend's response is correct.
A LAN (local area network) is a group of computers and network devices connected together, usually within the same building. By definition, the connections must be high speed and relatively inexpensive (e.g., token ringor Ethernet). Most Indiana University Bloomington departments are on LANs.
A LAN connection is a high-speed connection to a LAN. On the IUB campus, most connections are either Ethernet (10 Mbps) or Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps), and a few locations have Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) connections.
A MAN (metropolitan area network) is a larger network that usually spans several buildings in the same city or town. The IUB network is an example of a MAN.
A WAN (wide area network), in comparison to a MAN, is not restricted to a geographical location, although it might be confined within the bounds of a state or country. A WAN connects several LANs, and may be limited to an enterprise (a corporation or an organization) or accessible to the public. The technology is high speed and relatively expensive. The Internet is an example of a worldwide public WAN.
