A developer notices that her program produces incorrect results but does not crash or display any error messages. What type of error does this most likely indicate?

Q: How do I try a free OCR Computer Science question?

Just tap any of the four options on this page — no signup, no card, nothing to install. You'll see the correct answer and a full mark-scheme-style explanation within a second. Each visit shows a fresh randomly-picked question from the live OCR GCSE Computer Science bank, so you can keep refreshing to try different ones before deciding whether to create a free account for daily access.

Q: Is Kramizo really free for OCR Computer Science students?

Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, across any board and any subject, with no card required and no trial countdown. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds analytics, but the free plan is genuinely free forever. We make money from the small percentage of students who choose to upgrade — not from selling data or ads.

Q: Are the Computer Science questions aligned to the OCR GCSE syllabus?

Every question is written against the published OCR GCSE Computer Science syllabus and reviewed for accuracy before being added to the bank. We match the command words (state, describe, explain, evaluate), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'll see on real OCR past papers. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

A developer notices that her program produces incorrect results but does not crash or display any error messages. What type of error does this most likely indicate?

Accepted Answer

A logic error in the program's algorithm — A logic error occurs when the program runs without crashing but produces wrong results because the algorithm is flawed — for example, using subtraction instead of addition. Syntax errors are caught by the translator before execution. Run-time errors cause the program to crash during execution. There is no category called a 'translation error' produced by an assembler.

Answer

A translation error produced by the assembler

Answer

A run-time error caused by an illegal operation

Answer

A logic error in the program's algorithm

Answer

A syntax error flagged during compilation
