Program Errors

This presentation explores the various causes of program errors.


We will cover common error types, prevention methods, and
debugging tools.
Syntax Errors: The Grammar of Code
Syntax errors violate the rules of the programming language. They prevent the program from compiling or running.
Prevention includes rigorous code review. Adherence to coding standards is also important.

Missing Semicolons Incorrect Keywords Undeclared Variables


Forgetting to end statements. Using the wrong command or Using a variable without defining
function name. it first.
Runtime Errors:
Unexpected Detours
Runtime errors occur during program execution. They can lead to
program crashes or incorrect results. Input validation is a key
prevention method. Proper error handling is also critical.

Division by Zero Null Pointer


Exceptions
Attempting to divide a
number by zero. Trying to access a null
reference.

Out-of-Memory Errors
Running out of available memory.
Logical Errors: The Silent
Killers
Logical errors are flaws in the program's logic or algorithm. They
result in incorrect or unexpected results. Careful design is crucial for
prevention. Thorough testing is also necessary.

Incorrect Calculations
Using the wrong formula or operations.

Infinite Loops
Creating a loop that never terminates.

Wrong Conditional Statements


Using incorrect conditions or logic.
Resource Errors: Running on Empty
Resource errors relate to memory and file handles. They also include other limited resources. Programs can slow
down or crash because of this. Resource management prevents these errors.

Memory Leaks File Access Denied Network Connection


Failures
Failing to release allocated memory. Lacking permission to access a file.
Inability to establish a network
connection.
Debugging Tools: Finding
the Culprits
Debugging tools help identify and fix errors. Debuggers allow step-
by-step execution. Loggers record program activity for later
analysis. Profilers identify performance bottlenecks.

Debuggers Loggers Profilers

Static Analyzers
Error Prevention Best Practices
Adopting best practices reduces errors. Follow coding standards. Use version control systems. Perform code reviews
regularly. Implement proper error handling and logging.

Coding Standards
Consistent code style

Version Control
Manage code changes

Code Reviews
Peer feedback
Conclusion: Mastering the Art of Error
Handling
Program errors are inevitable, but manageable. Understanding error types and prevention is crucial. Effective
debugging saves time and effort. Continuous learning is key.
