Definition of Programming Bugs
Syntax Errors
Errors that occur when the
code violates the rules of the
programming language.
Logic Errors
Bugs that cause the program
to produce incorrect or
unexpected results.
Runtime Errors
Errors that occur during the
execution of the program,
often due to invalid inputs or
memory issues.
