Question:

Differentiate by examples different types of programming errors in C.

Answer:

In C programming, there are several types of errors that a programmer may encounter. These errors

can be broadly classified into syntax errors, runtime errors, logical errors, and linker errors. Here are

the differences with examples:

1. Syntax Errors

These occur when the rules of the C language are violated. The compiler detects them during

compilation.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
Example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

int a = 10;

int b = 0;

int c = a / b; // Division by zero

printf("%d", c);

return 0;

Explanation: Division by zero causes a runtime error (may crash the program).

3. Logical Errors

These occur when the program compiles and runs, but the output is not as expected due to a

mistake in logic.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

int x = 5, y = 10;

int max = x < y; // Should be x > y

printf("Max: %d", max);

return 0;

}
Explanation: The programmer meant to find the maximum value, but used the wrong comparison

operator.

4. Linker Errors

These occur when the program is compiled but cannot be linked due to missing function definitions

or libraries.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

void display(); // Function declared

int main() {

display(); // Called but not defined

return 0;

Explanation: The function display() is declared and called but not defined anywhere in the program.
