In Python, errors refer to any problems that occur during the execution of a program.
There are three main types of errors in Python: syntax errors, logic errors, and runtime errors.
Syntax errors: Syntax errors occur when the interpreter encounters code that doesn’t conform to the language’s syntax rules. These errors are usually detected by the interpreter before the program is executed.
Logic errors: Logic errors occur when the code runs without any syntax errors, but the program doesn’t produce the expected output or behavior. These errors are caused by mistakes in the algorithm or the program’s logical flow.
Runtime errors: Runtime errors occur when the program is syntactically and logically correct, but an error occurs during the execution of the program. These errors are typically caused by unexpected conditions or incorrect input.
When an error occurs, Python will usually print an error message that describes the problem. The error message will include the type of error, a traceback (which shows the sequence of function calls that led to the error), and the line number where the error occurred.
Here, we are going to look at different examples of errors in detail.
