Before the program starts

What is a common cause of runtime errors?
Syntax mistakes
Referencing data that doesn't exist
Using the wrong text editor
Writing comments incorrectly
Answer explanation
A common cause of runtime errors is referencing data that doesn't exist, as this leads to attempts to access null or undefined values, causing the program to crash. Other options relate to syntax or formatting, which do not cause runtime errors.

Dividing by zero
Comparing a string to an integer
