  • Q11
    What is the main difference between syntax errors and logical errors in programming?
    Syntax errors involve incorrect use of programming language rules, while logical errors result in flawed program logic.
    Syntax errors are caused by incorrect input from the user, while logical errors are caused by the computer's hardware.
    Syntax errors can be easily fixed by running the program again, while logical errors require extensive debugging.
    Syntax errors occur when the program fails to compile, while logical errors occur during runtime.

  • Q13
    What is a common characteristic of syntax errors in programming?
    Syntax errors occur only during runtime.
    Syntax errors can be easily identified by the programmer.
    Syntax errors are not related to the programming language rules.
    Syntax errors prevent the program from compiling correctly.

  • Q14
    What is the primary focus of fixing syntax errors in a program?
    Enhancing the user interface and design of the program.
    Correcting issues related to the structure and formatting of the code.
    Adjusting the program's logical flow and decision-making process.
    Optimizing the program's performance and speed.

  • Q15
    How are syntax errors typically identified in a program?
    Syntax errors automatically fix themselves during program execution.
    Syntax errors are usually found by running the program multiple times.
    Syntax errors are often highlighted by the compiler with error messages indicating the specific line of code where the issue occurs.
    Syntax errors can only be detected by experienced programmers.
