Question

The errors that can be pointed out by the compiler are
1. Syntax errors
2. Internal errors
3. Sematic errors
4. Logical errors

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Syntax errors

The correct answer is Syntax errors.

• A syntax error is an error in the source code of a program.
• Since computer programs must follow strict syntax to compile correctly, any aspects of the code that do not conform to the syntax of the programming language will produce a syntax error.
• Unlike logic errors, which are errors in the flow or logic of a program, syntax errors are small grammatical mistakes, sometimes limited to a single character.
• For example, a missing semicolon at the end of a line or an extra bracket at the end of a function may produce a syntax error.

• Internal errors are due to faulty logic or coding in the program.
  • Common types of internal errors include Bounds errors, Inserting a null pointer into a collection, Attempting to use a bad date.
• A semantic error is a violation of the rules of the meaning of a natural language or a programming language.
  • semantic errors are the hardest to debug because the interpreter provides no information about what is wrong.
• A logic error (or logical error) is a mistake in a program's source code that results in incorrect or unexpected behavior.
  • It is a type of runtime error that may simply produce the wrong output or may cause a program to crash while running.
