Logic Error
esse quam videri
Definition
A logic error is a type of error that has to do with a user's code not performing as expected. Logic errors may be difficult to spot as well because they are still valid code and will not cause the program to crash. Logic errors are also known as "bugs" in code.
Relevance
This is important as recognizing logic errors early can speed up the time it takes to finish a program.
Example
float Average(float number1, float number2)
{
return number1 + number2 / 2; // This is a logic error because number1 + number2 is not in parenthesis. This equation is number 1 + (number2 / 2) instead of (number1 + number2) / 2.
}
