Description: A Logical Error is a mistake in the source code of a program that results in incorrect or unexpected behavior. Unlike syntax errors, which prevent the code from compiling or running, logical errors allow the program to function but produce results that are not as expected. These errors can arise from a variety of causes, such as misinterpretation of requirements, mistakes in programming logic, or incorrect implementation of algorithms. Logical errors are particularly difficult to detect and fix, as the program may not show any obvious signs of failure, leading to erroneous output or behavior of the software. Identifying and correcting logical errors is crucial in software development, as they can affect the functionality and reliability of the final product. In the context of software development methodologies, early detection of these errors is essential, as unit and integration tests help ensure that the code behaves as expected. The practice of writing clean code and conducting code reviews also helps minimize the occurrence of logical errors by promoting clarity and understanding of the code among developers.
