Categories of Errors
Explore the main categories of errors in JavaScript programming. Understand syntax errors that stop code execution, logical errors that cause incorrect results, and exceptions that occur during runtime. This lesson helps you identify and resolve common coding mistakes for cleaner, more reliable JavaScript programs.

Errors are problems or faults that occur in the program and cause unexpected behavior. Some errors don’t allow the program to begin execution, some can interrupt the execution, and others can be detected only after analyzing the program’s output.
