Error Types

Fill in the blanks

A error is a type of mistake that occurs when writing or interpreting code. It violates the rules of the programming language, causing the program to fail during or execution. A syntax runtime error is a syntax error that occurs during the execution of the program. Common errors include missing or mismatched , brackets, or quotes, improper indentation, and using reserved keywords as variable names.



Runtime errors occur during the execution of a program. These errors cause the program to terminate abnormally, with common examples including by zero and accessing an invalid memory location. Other common runtime errors are trying to convert an invalid string to a number, and opening a file that doesn’t . Identifying the cause of runtime errors is crucial for successful program execution and can prevent unexpected terminations.



Logical errors occur when the code runs without any syntax or runtime errors, but it does not produce the expected or behavior. These errors arise due to flaws in the algorithm or incorrect logical reasoning. Common logical errors include incorrect order of in mathematical calculations and using the wrong operator, which can significantly affect the program's correctness and behavior. Detecting and fixing logical errors can be challenging since the code technically functions correctly, but the desired outcome is not achieved.
