00:01 | Welcome to this tutorial on Common Errors in KTurtle. |
00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn about: |
00:10 | Syntax errors |
00:12 | Run time errors and |
00:14 | Logical errors. |
00:17 | To record this tutorial, I am using: |
00:20 | Ubuntu Linux OS version 12.04 |
00:25 | KTurtle version 0.8.1 beta. |
00:31 | We assume that you have basic working knowledge of KTurtle. |
00:36 | If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website: |
00:42 | Let's first define- What is an error? |
00:46 | Error is a mistake in a program that produces an incorrect or unexpected result. |
00:55 | First, I will explain about types of errors. |
01:00 | Syntax error is a violation of grammatical rules of a programming language. |
01:09 | Compilation fails when a program has syntax errors. |
01:15 | Syntax errors are easy to find and fix. |
01:22 | For Example:,Unmatched parentheses, square and curly braces. |
01:29 | Use of variable that has not been declared. |
01:34 | Missing quotes in strings. |
01:38 | Let's open a new KTurtle Application. |
01:42 | Click on Dash home. In the Search bar, type: "kturtle". |
01:48 | Click on the KTurtle icon. |
01:51 | Let's begin the tutorial with some types of syntax errors. |
01:58 | I already have a program in a text-editor. |
02:02 | To explain the error in the program, I will comment part of the code. |
02:09 | Here, I will comment the line. |
02:11 | $a=ask within double quotes "enter any number and click Ok". |
02:19 | I will use hash(#) sign to comment the line. |
02:23 | I will copy the program from text-editor and paste it into Kturtle's editor. |
02:31 | Pause the tutorial here and type the program into your KTurtle editor. |
02:37 | Resume the tutorial after typing the program. |
02:42 | Let's click on Run button to run the program. |
02:47 | Compiler shows the following error: |
02:50 | "variable '$a' was used without first being assigned to a value". |
02:57 | Here, the error is in line number 4. |
03:02 | This is a syntax error. It occurred as the variable 'a' was not declared. |
03:10 | So, I will go to line number 2, remove the comment. |
03:14 | I will copy the program from text-editor and paste it into KTurtle's editor. |
03:23 | Let's click on Run button to run the program. |
03:27 | Enter '6' for 'a' value and click OK. |
03:31 | Program runs without errors. |
03:35 | I will clear the current program from KTurtle editor. |
03:38 | Type "clear" command and Run to clean the canvas. |
03:43 | Let's next look at another error. |
03:46 | I already have a program in a text-editor. |
03:50 | Here, the value of "pi" is predefined in KTurtle. |
03:54 | Let's delete the '$' sign in the program. |
03:58 | I will copy the program from text editor and paste it into Kturtle's Editor. |
04:05 | Pause the tutorial here and type the program into your KTurtle editor. |
04:11 | Resume the tutorial after typing the program. |
04:16 | Let's click on Run button to run the program. |
04:19 | Complier shows the following error: |
04:22 | "You cannot put '=' here". |
04:26 | This error is in line number 2. |
04:30 | This is a syntax error. It occurred as there is no container of variable. |
04:37 | Let's go back to the program, replace the '$' sign. |
04:41 | I will copy the program from text editor and paste it into KTurtle's editor. |
04:49 | Let's click on Run button to run the program. |
04:53 | Enter 45 for angle value and click OK. |
04:57 | Program runs without errors. |
05:00 | Let's remove one of the quotes of the string. |
05:05 | I will copy the program from text editor and paste it into KTurtle's editor. |
05:12 | Click on Run button to run the program. |
05:15 | Complier shows the following error: |
05:18 | 'Text string was not properly closed, expected a double quote (") to close the string'. |
05:25 | Here, the error is in line number 2. |
05:29 | I will go back to line number 2 and replace the quotes. |
05:34 | I will copy the program from text editor and paste it into Kturtle's editor. |
05:41 | Click on Run button to run the program. |
05:44 | Enter '45' for angle value and click OK. |
05:49 | Program runs without errors. |
05:52 | This way you can find the line at which error has occurred and also correct it. |
05:59 | Let's now learn about run time errors. |
06:04 | Run-time error occurs during the execution of a program. |
06:10 | It may crash the program when you run it. |
06:15 | Runtime errors are commonly due to wrong input from the user. |
06:23 | Compiler cannot find these errors. |
06:27 | For example: |
06:29 | Trying to divide by a variable that contains no value. |
06:31 | Run a loop without a terminating condition or increment value. |
06:43 | I will clear the current program from the editor. |
06:47 | Type "clear" command and Run to clean the canvas. |
06:52 | I already have a program in a text editor. |
06:56 | This program divides two numbers. |
07:00 | 'a' is dividend and 'r' is divisor. |
07:04 | I will copy the program from text editor and paste it into KTurtle's editor. |
07:11 | Pause the tutorial here and type the program into your KTurtle editor. |
07:16 | Resume the tutorial after typing the program. |
07:20 | Let us click on Run button to run the program. |
07:24 | Let's enter '5' for 'a' and click OK, |
07:29 | enter '0' for 'r' and click OK. |
07:33 | Here, we get a run time error: |
07:36 | “you tried to divide by zero”. |
07:39 | This error is in line number 4. |
07:43 | This error occurs as we cannot divide a number with zero. |
07:49 | Let us run again. |
07:51 | Enter '5' for 'a' and click OK, |
07:54 | enter '2' for 'r' and click OK. |
07:58 | Program runs without errors. |
08:01 | I will clear the current program from KTurtle editor. |
08:05 | Type "clear" command and Run to clean the canvas. |
08:10 | Next, we will learn about logical errors. |
08:14 | Logical error is a mistake in a program's source code that results in incorrect or unexpected behavior. |
08:26 | For example- |
08:28 | Assigning a value to a wrong variable. |
08:32 | Multiplying two numbers instead of adding. |
08:36 | I already have a program in a text editor. |
08:39 | I will copy the program from text editor and paste it into Kturtle's editor. |
08:47 | Pause the tutorial here and type the program into your KTurtle editor. |
08:52 | Resume the tutorial after typing the program. |
08:57 | Now click on the Run button to run the program. |
09:01 | A dialog-box pops-up; let's click OK. |
09:05 | Loop goes into an infinite loop. |
09:08 | We see that “while” loop prints numbers from 31 and is still printing. |
09:15 | This is a logical error. |
09:18 | In the “while” condition 'x' is greater than 20 |
09:23 | but the variable 'x' is always greater than 20. |
09:28 | So, the loop never terminates. |
09:31 | I will click on Abort button to abort the process. |
09:36 | Let's change $x=$x+1 to $x=$x-1. |
09:44 | I will copy the program from text editor and paste it into KTurtle's editor. |
09:51 | Let's click on Run button to run the program. |
09:55 | A dialog-box pops up. Let us click OK. |
09:59 | Loop terminates after printing the values from 29 to 20. |
10:05 | With this, we come to the end of this tutorial. |
10:10 | Let us summarize. |
10:12 | In this tutorial, we have learnt errors and types of errors such as- |
10:18 | Use of variable that has not been declared. |
10:23 | Missing quotes in strings. |
10:27 | Runtime errors' and |
10:30 | Logical errors.As an assignment, I would like you to find errors in the given programs. |
