    This error violates the language syntax rule, as a declarative sentence should end with a period.

    This new word is not recognizable in the vocabulary of the natural language, thus creating an error. It can also be a word that is out of context, such as using “male” instead of “mall”.

    It is an error as it is not what was originally the intended direction compared to the original message. This error is not easily detectable by the compiler.

    <p>Logical Error</p> Signup and view all the answers

    It appears when a code is ill-formed. When typos occur, or when unmatching parenthesis or brackets. The code cannot even be executed as JavaScript cannot understand it.

    The semantic error above is called a _______ in JavaScript, as the compiler does not know its meaning.

    Study Notes

    Errors in Programming

    • Errors can occur in programming due to misconceptions, improper use of the programming language, typos, or inability to predict user behavior.

    Programming Language Structure

    • A programming language has its own "grammar" which is a set of rules that defines the structure of instructions.
    • A programming language has its own "vocabulary" which is a list of words that can be used to build instructions.

    Syntax Errors

    • A syntax error occurs when the code violates the language syntax rules, such as a declarative sentence not ending with a period.
    • Syntax errors can be caused by typos, unmatching parentheses or brackets, and make the code unable to be executed.

    Semantic Errors

    • A semantic error occurs when the code is ill-formed and the compiler does not know the meaning, such as using a non-existent function or variable.
    • Semantic errors are not easily detectable by the compiler and can occur when the programmer tries to access a non-existent function or variable.
