This presentation focuses on programming errors, specifically syntax errors and runtime errors, which are crucial for efficient coding. Syntax errors violate grammar rules of the programming language, while runtime errors occur during program execution due to unexpected events. Strategies for identifying and fixing these errors include using debugging tools, syntax highlighting, and error handling constructs to improve software reliability.

INTRODUCTION TO SYNTAX

AND RUNTIME ERRORS


THIS PRESENTATION WILL DELIVER INTO THE WORLD OF
PROGRAMMING ERRORS, FOCUSING ON THE TWO MAJOR TYPES:
SYNTAX ERRORS AND RUNTIME ERRORS. UNDERSTANDING THESE
ERRORS IS CRUCIAL FOR EFFICIENT CODING, AS THEY CAN CAUSE
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES DURING DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT.
WHAT ARE SYNTAX ERRORS?

DEFINITION EXAMPLES
Syntax errors occur when the code Missing semicolons, unclosed
violates the grammar rules of the parentheses, or misspelled keywords
programming language. They are like are common syntax errors.
grammatical mistakes in human
language
WHAT ARE RUNTIME ERRORS?

• Runtime errors occur during the execution of the program, usually


when an unexpected event happens. These are often
unpredictable and harder to debug.

• Division by zero, attempting to access a non-existent file, or


accessing an array element out of bounds are examples of
runtime errors.

• They occur when the program encounters a condition that it wasn’t


designed to handle, like invalid user input or unexpected network
errors.
COMPARING SYNTAX AND RUNTIME ERRORS

SYNTAX ERRORS RUNTIME ERRORS


• Structural issue • Unexpected events during execution
• Compiler or interpreter detects them • Occur during program execution
• Program won’t run until fixed • May require debugging
STRATEGIES FOR IDENTIFYING
AND FIXING SYNTAX ERRORS

Use syntax highlighting to Employ linters to Utilize IDEs that provide

EXAMPLES OF COMMON
RUNTIME ERRORS IN REAL-
WORLD APPLICATIONS
• Division by zero: Occurs when a program attempts to
divide a number by zero, which is mathematically
undefined.
• Out-of-range or type mismatch errors: Happen when a
program tries to access an element outside the bounds
of an array or tries to use a value of the wrong type.

• Handling unexpected user inputs: Program should


handle invalid user input gracefully to avoid
unexpected behaviour or crashes
