[amp_mcq option1=”logical error” option2=”syntax error” option3=”compiler error” option4=”language error” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: A. logical error
A logical error is a type of programming error that occurs when a program is syntactically correct but does not produce the desired output. Logical errors are often caused by using a statement at the wrong time or with an inappropriate object.
For example, the following code will produce a logical error:
int x = 1;
int y = 2;
int z = x + y;
This code is syntactically correct, but it will not produce the desired output because the + operator is used to add two integers, but x and y are strings.
To avoid logical errors, it is important to carefully read and understand the code before running it. It is also helpful to use a debugger to step through the code line by line and see how the values of variables change.
Here is a brief explanation of each option:
- A. logical error A logical error is a type of programming error that occurs when a program is syntactically correct but does not produce the desired output. Logical errors are often caused by using a statement at the wrong time or with an inappropriate object.
- B. syntax error A syntax error is a type of programming error that occurs when a program does not follow the rules of the programming language. Syntax errors are usually caused by typing errors or by using incorrect keywords or punctuation.
- C. compiler error A compiler error is a type of programming error that occurs when the compiler cannot compile the program. Compiler errors are usually caused by syntax errors or by errors in the program’s logic.
- D. language error A language error is a type of programming error that occurs when the program uses a construct that is not supported by the programming language. Language errors are usually caused by using a new feature of the programming language that is not yet supported by the compiler.
