Assuming the code has errors and testing thoroughly
Writing code without testing
Ignoring errors until testing
What type of error is caused by missing punctuation in code?
Compilation error
Runtime error

Using the wrong concatenation operator
What should you do if you find a missing speech mark in a string?
Rewrite the code from scratch
Ignore it as it's minor
Add the missing speech mark
Delete the string
What happens if a variable name is misspelled but used consistently?
It causes a runtime error
It does not cause any error
It leads to a logic error
It results in a syntax error
What type of error does inconsistent capitalization of variable names cause?
Syntax error
Compilation error
Logic error
