      \n1. Syntax error:
      \nIt occurs when there is a violation in the grammatical rules of a programming language\u2019s instructions. It happens at the time of compilation. Such errors need to be rectified before proceeding further.<\/p>\n

      2. Semantic errors:
      \nAn error, which occurs due to the incorrect logic in a solution is called semantic error. It also occurs due to wrong use of grammar in the program?<\/p>\n

      3. Runtime Error:
      \nIt occur at run-time. Such error cause a program to end abruptly or even cause system shut-down. Such errors are hard to detect and are known as \u2018Bugs\u2019<\/p>\n

      4. Logical Error :
      \nIt may happen that a program contains no syntax or run-time errors but still it doesn\u2019t produce the correct output. It is because the developer has not understood the problem statement properly. These errors are hard to detect as well. It may need the algonithm to be modified in the design phase and changing sources code.<\/p>\n

        \nAnswer:
        \n\"1st
        \nThe first computers used vacuum tubes for electronic circuitry and magnetic drums for memory. They were very expensive to operate and the power consumption was high, generated a lot of heat, which was often ti e cause of malfunctions.<\/p>\n

        First generation compilers were communicated through machine language to perform operations, and they could only solve one problem at a time. Input was based on punched cards and paper tape, and output was displayed on printouts.
        \nUNIVAC and ENIAC computers are examples of first-generation computing devices.

        \nAnswer:
        \nThe 1\u2019s complement of a number is formed by changing all 1\u2019s to 0\u2019s and all 0\u2019s to 1\u2019s.

        \n\"1st
        \nThe various parts of the above program:
        \nheaders, which contain information that is either necessary or useful to program. For this program, the header <iostrcam> is needed.<\/p>\n

        1. The next line \/\/ main() is where the program execution begins. It is a single-line comment available in C++. Single-line comments begin with \/\/ and stop at the end of the line.<\/p>\n

        2. The line int main() is the main function where program execution begins.<\/p>\n

        3. The pair of {} indicates the body of the main function.<\/p>\n

        4. The next line cout<< \u201cHello World.\u201d; causes the message \u201cHello World\u201d to be displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n

        5. The next line return 0; terminates main( )function and causes it to return the value 0 to the calling process.<\/p>\n

        Question 31.
        \nExplain Nested if-else-if statement general format with suitable example.
        \nAnswer:
        \nThe \u2018if else if\u2019 statement is an extension of the \u201cif else\u201d conditional branching statement. When the expression in the \u201cif\u2019 condition is \u201cfalse\u201d another \u201cif else\u201d construct is used to execute a set of statements based on the expression.
        \nSyntax:
        \n– if(expression)
        \n{ statements } else if(expression)
        \n{ statements } else if(expression)
        \n{ statements }

        \n}
        \nResult:
        \nEnter your Percentage::60
        \nFirst Class
        \nIn the above example, the \u2018if else if\u2019 statement is used to check multiple conditions based on the percentage of marks got, as input. The user entered percentage as 60, then first condition evaluated and returned with false. This resulted in checking for second if condition and resulted in true which give the print \u201cfirst class\u201d.<\/p>\n

        Question 32.
        \nWrite an algorithm to find the area and circumference of a circle.
        \nAnswer:
        \nStep 1: Start
        \nStep 2: input r
        \nStep 3: let pi = 3.14
        \nStep 4: area = pi * r * r

        Question 34.
        \nExplain the structure of a function with an example.
        \nAnswer:
        \n\"1st
        \n1. Function type:
        \nThe function-type identifies the type of return value, which will be sent back after the function has performed its task.
        \nEg:
        \nfunction type may be a int, float, char, void.<\/p>\n

        2. Function_name:
        \nFunction name followed by a pair of open and close parentheses \u2018()\u2019 helps to identify name of the function and its arguments. () The parentheses can contain an optional list of arguments that are passed to the function. Arguments are used to transfer\/copy (pass) the values from calling function to called function.<\/p>\n

        3. Body of the function:
        \nIt is enclosed within braces. A function should have at least one executable statement and rest of the things are same as in main( ) function. The body of the function can also have an optional declaration for the variables to be used by the function only also called local variables.<\/p>\n

        4. Return(expression):
        \nThe return statement can return the value of any expression. The return statement can contain an optional expression or value that is to be returned back to the calling function.<\/p>\n
