(a) Logical errors/ Semantic errors/ Algorithmic errors: These errors allow program run but give out wrong or unexpected results or wrong order of display of results. These errors are not detected by a translator.

(b) Runtime/ Execution errors: These are errors that cause a program to come to sudden halt or premature stop or hanging.

(c) Syntax errors: These are errors that occur due to wrong use of programming language rules like misspellings, misuse of reserved words, improper naming of variable, grammatical mistakes or undeclared variables. These errors are detected by translators.
