Computer Programming Errors



I got the following information from a lesson on Udemy, from the course Foundations of Computer Science for Teachers.


 Bug/Error
A bug is an error, flaw, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result.  This can be a program situation that indicates a flaw in the source code, either syntax-based (punctuation or grammar), run-time (occurs during execution, such as file not found, or division by zero), or logic based where the program runs but does not produce the desired results.
Lexical Error
An error in programming that is characterized by the misspelling of a word, capitalization errors, or reserved words listed out of order.
Syntax Errors
An error associated with punctuation, indentation, or mismanagement of braces and parentheses in a computer program.
Run-time Errors
An error that occurs during the execution of a program, such as missing files or faulty input.
Logic Error
An error that causes the program to run incorrectly, but does not prevent the program from running.
