Big idea 1: Creative development

Question 1

syntax error

Answer 1

A mistake in typed code that violates the rules of the programming language. Typically, code with syntax errors will not run.

Question 2

logic error

Answer 2

A mistake in an algorithm or program that causes it to behave unexpectedly or return the incorrect value.

Question 3

run-time error

Answer 3

A mistake in a program that happens only when the program is actually run, such as a program attempting to access memory that does not exist.

Question 4

overflow error

Answer 4

Error that results when the number of bits is not enough to represent the number

Question 5

Integer representation

Answer 5

An integer is any number that can be written without a fractional component. Computer represents all data with bits(sequence of 0s and 1s)

Question 6

Floating-point representation

Answer 6

Computer languages typically use floating-point representation for non-integers (and sometimes integers, too). It’s similar to “scientific notation”, a representation you might know from other studies(256=1×2^8).
