Hi all,<br>
I have purchased the IARTV trial exams and am wondering about one of their multi-choice answers.Your help is, as always, appreciated.<br>
<br>
The question asks about a function written which is called “POP”, but “when testing his stack Alan accidentally types in PIP and the program crashes”.<br>
The multi-choice answers has us choose from runtime error or syntax error.<br>
<br>
They suggest the answer is syntax error (and explain that a name, expression etc…that the compiler cannot understand causes a syntax error)<br>
<br>
Now, if the program IS RUNNING and THEN crashes, does that not imply that it compiled? Therefore, it is a runtime error (where validation of input was not handled) or am I thinking too language specifically?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
