Suppose you write a program for computing the perimeter of a rectangle and you mistakenly write your program so that it computes the area of a rectangle. What kind of error is this?

This is a logical error (or semantic error).

• A logical error occurs when a program runs without crashing but produces incorrect results due to flawed logic.
• In this case, the mistake is in the formula:
  • Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * (length + width)
  • Area of a rectangle = length * width
• Since the program does not crash and still produces an output (though incorrect), it is not a syntax error or runtime error but a logical error.

Carefully check the logic and formulas before running the program. Using print statements or a debugger can help identify logical errors. 🚀
