  • If the logic of the program code contains an error, it does not effect the execution of the program. It is not have any compiler errors and execute the program successfully, but it displays the inappropriate/incorrect results as per the question.
  • For example, If run a program and it gives you the difference of two values as the output, instead of the sum of the values is the logic error.  Consider the diffrence of two vlaues as the input.
