Module 1: Introduction to Java
There are four general kinds of errors a Java program can
have:compiler errorsrun-time errorslogical errorsspecification
errors
We illustrate compiler errors in the two figures below. Figure

4. 1.VII-1 shows a program with two errors and a single error
message.
Figure 1.VII-2 shows the same program with the first error that
had been reported by the compiler corrected, leaving another
error that the compiler sees only after the first error has been
fixed. The Java compiler will flag many other kinds of errors.
The normal compiler error syntax is: : : <^ arrow=""
pointing="" to="" place="" where="" the="" compiler=""
detects="" a="" problem="">
In figure 1.VII-1, we have added line numbers to the original
source code. Note that the error message points out the error on
line 10—a semicolon that is actually missing on line 9.

1 error
In figure 1.VII-2 below, we have fixed the error flagged in
figure 1.VII-1 by adding a semicolon, but now the compiler has
found another error that was not reported earlier, this time on
line 9. You should not be discouraged when this happens to
you!
