1.2.5 Algorithms

Which of the following errors occurs when a program violates the grammatical rules of the programming language?

• Syntax Error

• Runtime Error

• Logic Error

• Compilation Error

What type of error occurs when a program compiles and runs but produces incorrect results due to faulty logic?

• Syntax Error

• Runtime Error

• Logic Error

• Compilation Error

Which error is typically associated with a program trying to perform an illegal operation, such as dividing by zero?

• Syntax Error

• Runtime Error

• Logic Error

• Compilation Error

Consider the code snippet. What type of error will this code produce when executed?

• Syntax Error

• Runtime Error

• Logic Error

• Compilation Error

In the following pseudocode to add up numbers 1 to 10 inclusive, what is the logic error?

• The loop should start from 0

• The loop should end at 9

• The sum should be initialized to 1

• There is no logic error

Which of the following is NOT a common symptom of a runtime error?

• The program crashes unexpectedly

• The program produces incorrect output

• The program fails to compile

• The program behaves differently on different inputs

What is the primary difference between a logic error and a syntax error?

• A logic error prevents the program from running, while a syntax error allows the program to run but causes it to produce incorrect results.

• A logic error is detected at compile time, while a syntax error is detected at runtime.

• A syntax error is a violation of the language's rules, while a logic error is a flaw in the algorithm.

• A logic error is always a runtime error, while a syntax error can also be a logic error.

If a variable is used before it is initialized in a programming language, which type of error does it typically cause?

• Syntax Error

• Runtime Error

• Logic Error

• Compilation Error

Given the code snippet: What would be the output if the function were intended to calculate the area of a circle but the radius was mistakenly treated as the diameter?

• The correct area of the circle

• An incorrect area based on the diameter

• An error message

• The function will not run

How can a programmer identify and correct a logic error in a program?

• By checking if the code adheres to the syntax rules

• By adding debugging statements and analyzing the output

• By ensuring that the code compiles without errors

• By using a different programming language
