• Code runs, but not how you expected

• Example of logic error

• Missing a closing parentheses

• Example of syntax error

• Divide by zero

• Example of runtime error

Match the following

• Look for red underlines in most IDEs

• Catching a syntax error

• Using try-catch blocks

• Catching a logic error

• Run your code and observe the output

• Catching a runtime error

Which of the following is NOT an example of a runtime error?

• Using a variable before it is defined

• Trying to change "abc" into an int

• Dividing a number by zero.

• Using the wrong operator in a calculation.

Identify the syntax error in the following code:
print("Hello World)

• Missing a parenthesis at the end of the line.

• Missing a closing quotation mark.

• Incorrect use of the print function.

• Incorrect string format.

Identify the runtime error in the following code:
result = 10 / 0

• Division by zero.

• Incorrect use of the division operator (/).

• Incorrect variable assignment, should be ==.

• Incorrect use of the print function.

Which of the following statements will cause a syntax error?

• print("Hello, World!")

• if (x > 5) { print("x is greater than 5") }

• for i in range(5): print(i)

• x = 10

Answer explanation

Which of the following statements will cause a logic error?

• x = 5 + 3

• if x > 5: print("x is greater than 5")

• total = price * quantity

• average = total - count

Which of the following statements will cause a runtime error?

• x = 5

  x = 5 + 3

• if x > 5: print("x is greater than 5")

• price = 5

  quantity = 5

  total = price * quantity

• count = 0

  average = total / count

What will be the output of the following code?

• 0

• 10

• An error message

• Infinity
