Chapter 1.4, Problem 23STE
Program Plan Intro
- A fault in a program denotes a bug and process of elimination of bugs is termed as debugging.
- A bug denotes an error, failure or fault in a program that may generate improper result.
- The process of fixing bugs is termed as debugging.
- Some of computer systems are able to deter, detect or auto correct different computer bugs during operations.
- The bugs arise from errors made in source code of program.
- The bugs can cause program to freeze computer in terms of processing.
Types of program errors:
- The three main types of program error includes:
- Syntax errors:
- The compiler catches certain mistakes and denotes an error message.
- It denotes violation of syntax of programming language.
- The compiler issues an error message if syntax is been violated.
- The compiler sometimes raises a warning message while any unusual programming practices.
- Run-time errors:
- It denotes type of error that system detects when a program is run.
- The system may detect certain run-time errors and displays appropriate error message.
- It may be an issue with numeric calculations.
- Logic error:
- It denotes a mistake in underlying
algorithm . - It may be an issue while translation of algorithm to program code.
- It denotes that there is no error in syntax while the result obtained is not as expected by user.
- These types of errors could be corrected by careful examination of algorithm and translation.
- It denotes a mistake in underlying
- Syntax errors:
