    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_error

    Type errors (such as an attempt to apply the ++ increment operator to a Boolean variable in Java) and undeclared variable errors are sometimes considered to be syntax errors when they are detected at compile-time.

  3. Assertion (software development) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assertion_(software...

    In computer programming, specifically when using the imperative programming paradigm, an assertion is a predicate (a Boolean-valued function over the state space, usually expressed as a logical proposition using the variables of a program) connected to a point in the program, that always should evaluate to true at that point in code execution.

  4. Java (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)

    The Java programming language requires the presence of a software platform in order for compiled programs to be executed. Oracle supplies the Java platform for use with Java. The Android SDK is an alternative software platform, used primarily for developing Android applications with its own GUI system.

  5. Error hiding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_hiding

    Depending on how the software is implemented, it can cause unintended side effects that cascade into other errors, destabilizing the system. Without information about the root cause of the problem, it's very hard to figure out what is going wrong or how to fix it.

  7. Exception handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling

    Exceptions are defined by different layers of a computer system, and the typical layers are CPU-defined interrupts, operating system (OS)-defined signals, programming language-defined exceptions. Each layer requires different ways of exception handling although they may be interrelated, e.g. a CPU interrupt could be turned into an OS signal.

  8. Graceful exit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graceful_exit

    In the Perl programming language, graceful exits are generally implemented via the die operator. For example, the code for opening a file often reads like the following: For example, the code for opening a file often reads like the following:

  9. Side effect (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_effect_(computer_science)

    In the presence of side effects, a program's behaviour may depend on history; that is, the order of evaluation matters. Understanding and debugging a function with side effects requires knowledge about the context and its possible histories. [2] [3] Side effects play an important role in the design and analysis of programming languages. The ...
