Error is deviation in measurement or observation, where the observed value is not the true value. A measurement is usually expressed as a plus or minus value, such as 2.4 +/- .1 Volts. Random error is statistical fluctuation around the true value. Systematic error is a bias, such as miscalibration or consistent error in observation, such as reading a needle type meter from a non perpendicular angle. One example of a systematic error is when reading the peak value of a ballistic galvanometer, that you record the maximum value that the needle crosses, a one-directional error, rather than attempting to interpolate the reading, a two-directional error, but one that gives a better result when many observations are made.

What are the three types of programming errors?
Choose three types of errors, list them and give examples of each. For example: 1. Range error: int a[50]; // 50 elements, a[0] through a[49] a[50] = 100; // error: a[50] is out of range 2. Invalid argument error: void f (int); f ("Hello world"); // error: formal argument is int, actual argument is const char* 3. Length error: std::vector<int> v; v.resize (v.max_size() + 1); // error: size exceeds maximum length
