Homonym: Error (Mistake)
An "error" refers to a mistake or inaccuracy that occurs in various contexts, such as mathematics, computing, or everyday life. It can result from human oversight, miscalculations, or system malfunctions. Errors can be classified into different types, including syntax errors, logical errors, and runtime errors, depending on where and how they occur.
In computing, an error often leads to unexpected behavior or results in a program. For example, a syntax error occurs when the code is written incorrectly, while a runtime error happens during the execution of a program. Identifying and correcting errors is essential for ensuring accuracy and functionality.
