When we write and run programs, sometimes we encounter some problems. These problems may be grammatical errors, logical errors, or other types of errors. When something goes wrong with a program, we need to go through it and find out the root cause of the error and then fix it. In this article, I'll cover some common programming problems and provide corresponding source code examples to help you better understand and solve them.
Problem 1: Syntax error
Syntax errors are one of the most common programming errors. They are usually caused by misspellings, missing semicolons, mismatched brackets, or the use of incorrect grammatical structures. Here is an example program that contains a syntax error:
def greet(name)
print("Hello, " + name + "!")
In this example, the function definition is missing a colon, which is a syntax error. To fix this, we just need to add a colon at the end of the function definition like this:
