Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A segmentation fault (aka segfault) is a common condition that causes programs to crash; they are often associated with a file named core .
Detailed explanation-2: -If the program runs partway and then crashes, you know the problem is a runtime error. Programs with syntax errors don’t execute even one line.
Detailed explanation-3: -Logic errors A logic error is an error in the way a program works. The program can run but does not do what it is expected to do. Logic errors can be caused by the programmer: incorrectly using logical operators, eg expecting a program to stop when the value of a variable reaches 5, but using <5 instead of <=5.
