What are the common mistakes made during coding?

CODE ERRORS

1.Syntax Errors

Syntax errors are the mistakes you make in the codes you write during software development and are the most common situation for those who are new to software. It is also very easy to fix because the artificial intelligence tools and resources we have at our disposal make it easier to overcome syntax errors. If you are using an advanced code editor, such as Visual Studio Code, the editor warns you when you make a syntax error and shows you a solution. We understand the importance of syntax errors, which are the most common type of errors, when we are still learning the software and even the absence of a semicolon does not run the entire program.

2.Functional Errors

A wide-ranging type of error that occurs when software does not work as intended. For example, if a user wants to save the content in a textbox, types something, then clicks the “Save” button and their work is not saved, this is a functional error. In such functional errors, we need to understand Object Oriented Programming well and improve ourselves in examples related to functions in software.

3.Logical Errors

A logical error represents an error in the flow of a code. It causes the program to behave incorrectly. This type of error can cause the program to produce incorrect output, the program to fail to exit the loop (for loop..), and closing the parentheses in places that do not comply with logic during the process. In some cases, logical errors are very small and difficult to notice. In order to avoid such situations, writing the algorithm of the program before starting to code will allow us to obtain more accurate results.

The difference from syntax errors is that in logical errors, the program is compiled but does not work properly.

4.Run-Time Errors

Run-time errors are errors that occur after you compile and run the code you have written. These errors occur when the program gives an error while everything seems normal.

5.Interface Errors

Interface errors occur when there is no connection between how you intended your program to be used and how it is actually used. If the input your program receives does not meet the program’s standards, you may get an interface error. The simplest examples include typing phone numbers from the interface or accidentally not making a field mandatory that would cause an error if left blank.
