The program will still compile and run but with incorrect output for what type of error?
Run-time error
Because run-time errors are caused by logical flaws in the code, they are often called __?
Logical errors

An exception
If you forget the ( ) after main in a C++ program, will you get a compile-time error or a run-time error?
Compile-time error
A sequence of steps that is unambiguous, executable, and terminating is called _?

An informal description of a sequence of steps for solving a problem is called __?
