In Programming language computer programming , error codes are enumerated messages that correspond to faults in a specific software application . They are typically used to identify faulty hardware , software , or incorrect user input in programming languages that lack exception handling , although they are sometimes also used in conjunction with exception handling. Error codes are not to be confused with return code s , although both are commonly used together in error handling. Some of the most severe error codes visible to users are the Stop error screen Blue Screen of Death codes provided by the Microsoft Windows Microsoft Windows operating systems . Error codes and exception handling Error codes are slowly disappearing from the programmer s environment as modern Object oriented programming object oriented programming languages replace them with Exception handling exceptions . Exceptions .... While it is considered poor practice in methodologies that use error codes and return codes to indicate failure, programmers often neglect to check return values for error conditions. That negligence can cause undesirable effects, as ignored error conditions often cause more severe problems later in the program. Exceptions are implemented in such a way as to separate the error handling code from the rest of the code. Separating the error handling code from the normal logic makes programs easier to write and understand, since one block of error handling code can service errors from any number of function calls.

Error bars are a graphical representation of the variability of data and are used on graphs to indicate the Error Experimental science error , or uncertainty in a reported measurement. They give a general idea of how accurate a measurement is, or conversely, how far from the reported value the true error free value might be. Error bars often indicate one standard deviation of uncertainty, but may also indicate the Standard error statistics standard error . These quantities are not the same and so the measure selected should be stated explicitly in the graph or supporting text. Error bars can be used to compare visually two quantities if various other conditions hold. This can determine whether differences are statistically significant . Error bars can also show how good a statistical fit the data has to a given function. Scientific papers in the experimental sciences are expected to include error bars on all graphs, though the practice differs somewhat between sciences, and each journal will have its own house style .

Abbe error , named after Ernst Abbe , also called sine error , describes the magnification of angular error over distance. For example, when one measures a point that is 1 meter away at 45 degrees, an angular error of 1 degree corresponds to a positional error of over 1.745 cm, equivalent to a distance measurement error of 1.745 .

Unreferenced date December 2009 In statistics , the term error arises in two ways. Firstly, it arises in the context of decision making , where the probability of error may be considered as being the probability of making a wrong decision and which would have a different value for each type of error. Secondly, it arises in the context of statistical modelling for example regression where the model s predicted value may be in error regarding the observed outcome and where the term probability of error may refer to the probabilities of various amounts of error occurring. Hypothesis testing In hypothesis testing in statistics , two types of error are distinguished. Type I and type II errors Type I error s which consist of rejecting a null hypothesis that is true this amounts to a false positive result. Type I and type II errors Type II error s which consist of failing to reject a null hypothesis that is false this amounts to a false negative result. The probability of error is similarly distinguished. For a Type I error, it is shown as alpha and is known as the size of the test and is 1 minus the Specificity tests specificity of the test. It should also be noted that alpha is sometimes referred to as the confidence of the test, or the level of significance LOS of the test. For a Type II error, it is shown as beta and is 1 minus the Statistical power power or 1 minus the sensitivity tests sensitivity of the test. Statistical and econometric modelling The fitting of many statistical model models in statistics and econometrics usually seeks to minimise the difference between observed and predicted or theoretical values. This difference is known as an error , though when observed it would be better described as a Errors and residuals in statistics residual .

Unreferenced date December 2009 In statistics , a forecast error is the difference between the actual or real and the predicted or forecasting forecast value of a time series or any other phenomenon of interest. In simple cases, a forecast is compared with an outcome at a single time point and a summary of forecast errors is constructed over a collection of such time points. Here the forecast may be assessed using the difference or using a proportional error. By convention, the error is defined using the value of the outcome minus the value of the forecast. In other cases, a forecast may consist of predicted values over a number of lead times in this case an assessment of forecast error may need to consider more general ways of assessing the match between the time profiles of the forecast and the outcome. If a main application of the forecast is to predict when certain thresholds will be crossed, one possible way of assessing the forecast is to use the timing error&mdash the difference in time between when the outcome crosses the threshold and when the forecast does so. When there is interest ... between the peak value of the outcome and the value forecast for that time point. Forecast error can be a calendar forecast error or a cross sectional forecast error, when we want to summarize the forecast error over a group of units. If we observe the average forecast error for a time series of forecasts for the same product or phenomenon, then we call this a calendar forecast error or time series forecast error. If we observe this for multiple products for the same period, then this is a cross sectional performance error. Reference class forecasting has been developed to reduce forecast error.

Discretization error can usually be reduced by using a more finely spaced lattice, with an increased Computational complexity theory computational cost . Examples Discretization error is the principal source of error in methods of finite difference s and the pseudo spectral method of computational physics. When we define the derivative of math , f x math as math f x lim h rightarrow0 frac f x h f x h math or math f x approx frac f x h f x h math , where math , h math is a finitely small number, the difference between the first formula and this approximation is known as discretization error. Related phenomena In signal processing , the analog of discretization is Sampling signal processing sampling , and results in no loss if the conditions of the sampling theorem are satisfied, otherwise the resulting error is called aliasing . Discretization error, which arises from finite resolution in the domain, should not be confused with quantization error , which is finite resolution in the range values , nor in round off error arising from floating point arithmetic. Discretization error would occur even if it were possible to represent the values exactly and use exact arithmetic it is the error from representing a function by its values at a discrete set of points, not an error in these values.

Random errors are error s in measurement that lead to measurable values being inconsistent when repeated measures of a time invariant constant attribute or physical quantity quantity are taken. The word random indicates that they are inherently predictability unpredictable , and have null expected value , namely, they are scattered about the true value, and tend to have null arithmetic mean when a measurement is repeated several times with the same instrument. All measurements are prone to random error. Random error is caused by unpredictable fluctuations in the readings of a measurement apparatus, or in the experimenter s interpretation of the instrumental reading these fluctuations may be in part due to interference of the environment with the measurement process. The concept of random error is closely related to the concept of accuracy and precision precision . The higher the precision of a measurement instrument, the smaller the variability standard deviation of the fluctuations in its readings.

For compiled language s syntax errors occur strictly at compiler compile time . A program will not compile until all syntax errors are corrected. For interpreted language s, however, not all syntax errors can be reliably detected until Run time program lifecycle phase run time , and it is not necessarily simple to differentiate a syntax error from a Logic error semantic error many don t try at all. A syntax error may also occur when an invalid equation is entered into a calculator .
