====== Logic Error ======
[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

A **Logic Error** is a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:b:bug]] in a program or [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:a:application]] allowing it to operate incorrectly, but not to terminate abnormally (or crash) causing a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:core_dump]]. A **Logic Error** produces unintended or undesired output or other behavior, although it may not immediately be recognized as such.

**Logic Errors** occur in both compiled and interpreted languages. Unlike a program with a Syntax Error, a program with a **Logic Error** is a grammatically valid program, however, it does not behave as intended. Often the only clue to the existence of **Logic Errors** are the production of wrong solutions, though static analysis may sometimes spot the issues, often they do not.
