Errors can be catagerised in to several types.Syntax errors are caused by the incorreect use of the programming language.Logical errors are faults in the progrmm design .Esecution error or run time errors are caused by combinations of data that the programmer did not anticipate .A typical exeecution error is cause by attempting to devide a number by zero.Computers are designed to deal with a set range of numbers to a given range of accuracy ,Many errors are caused byb ther=se limitations;an over flow error occures when a number is too large for the computer deak with,an underflow error occurs when anumber is too small;rounding errors an truncation errors are caused by the need to round off decimal numbers.or to cut them off(truncate them)after the maximmum number of decmal places allowed by the computers level of accurancy.
