I have code throughout the project that generates an optional log file. Assuming the debug code is done well, I was wondering if there would be marks taken off for having extra code, marks added for having good debug functionality, or no difference to marks? There is, of course, a toggle to turn this feature on/off, and the debugging features would of course be deactivated in my final submission. I'm specifically asking if I should keep or remove the deactivated code. Thanks in advance for any help.

You wouldn't gain marks since it isn't asked for in the specification. Whether you lose marks or not would be up to the discretion of whoever marks your code (usually, you wouldn't be marked down for having extra code that exists for debugging).

I believe it would be best to removing debugging code to make sure there are no misunderstandings during marking.
