C++ Errors
This lesson is part of C++ · All levels
Summary
There are basically three types of program errors: syntax errors that make compilation fail, runtime errors that occur when a program is running, and logic errors that make the result go wrong without any message. Syntax errors are easiest because the compiler points to a problem line, while logic errors are most difficult because the program appears to be running normally. Therefore, it is important to understand how to read error messages and program them to fail in a controlled manner.
Key points
- Syntax error prevents a program from being formed into an executable.
- Runtime error occurs during execution, such as opening an empty file or full memory.
- Logical error makes the result incorrect without any interference.
- Dividing an integer by zero is an undefined behavior that generally causes the program to stop.
