What is compile-time error? |
| Question found in Programming |
|
|
A compile-time error is an error in a code segment or in a program which is discovered by the compiler. Such errors are found before the linking and build process is executed, i.e. such errors are noticed right at the time of compilation. They are normally caused inside a program due to the code not following syntax and semantic rules. Scenarios like missing a semi-colon, missing a paranthesis, usage of an integer where a string is expected etc can all result in compile-time errors. These errors are caused where ever the program deviates from the grammatical rules set by the programming language. An example is given below : #include main() { printf("Hello") } The above code when compiled using Turbo C will result in a Compil-time error with an error message 'Statement missing ; in function main'. This is due to the fact that the 4th line of the above given code snippet is missing a semi-colon(;) at the end of the line. |

The following is an example of what type of error? int num1; int num2; rintf( "Enter two numbers: "); scanf(“%d %d”, num1 ,num1); a)Semantic error. b)Logical error c)Compile time error d)none of the above. |

I assume that you have placed the proper header files and the main() function in your program and am approaching this code from that view point. Let's take the rintf( "Enter two numbers: "); statement in your program. If you try to compile this statement, Turbo C compiler will not produce any Error's and the OBJ file will be successfully created. This is because even though we have made a typo by writing "rintf" instead of "printf" grammatically this code is correct. The error is caught by the Turbo C IDE only when we try to build the program. When we go for a build or make on this program the Turbo linker kicks in and will try link the definition for "rintf" in the exe and as it can't find such a function in the header files it will terminate the build with a symbol not found linker error. As there is no syntax error in this code we can't place this error in the syntax error category. It also has no semantic or compilation error. So this error can't be categorized in to the first 3 options given by you. It is a Linker Error. The scanf statement in your program will produce some warnings as you haven't placed the address of operator (&) before the variable passed into the scanf function. |

Why is the snow leopard is an endangered species? |
| Question found in Animals & Nature |
|
|
The snow leopard is an animal which is on the very brink of extinction. The snow leopard is a member of the order Carnivora and belongs to the family Felidae. Snow leopards are found in the Eastern Asia and it is classified as an endangered species due to an estimated population of no more than 2500 snow leopards. Although the Snow Leopard is internationally regarded and legally protected as an endangered species, effective measures are not being implemented correctly to substantiate this protection. It has been fully protected in India since 1952, and is also protected in the USSR but many combined factors has led to the alarming decline of their population. Some of the major factors that has led to their near extermination are : 1. Loss of natural habitat. This loss is contributed by facts like deforestation for agriculture, dam projects and other environmental pressures. The ongoing armed conflict in the Jammu and Kashmir, which is a main habitat of Snow Leopard has led to a state where no regard is given for the species preservation. 2. Massive amount of hunting by the humans for taking the Snow Leopard Fur. The rich fur of this beautiful creature is in great demand among buyers and this has led to mass poaching. A snow leopard skin can fetch about US$10,000, in the black market. 3. Persecution by Herdsmen and Villagers as a livestock predator. 4. Fragmented distribution of the species as it lives in a very dangerous and vastly segmented terrain. 5. Ignorance among the villagers about the snow leopard's protected status is also a problem. You can find further details about this beautiful animal from the below given link. http://www.animalinfo.org/species/carnivor/unciunci.htm Only Massive awareness campaigns and extreme protection measures from the concerned governments can save Snow Leopards. |

Do bees sleep? How come you never see a bee at night? Where do they go? |
| Question found in Animals & Nature |
|
|
During night time most of the bees conserve their energy by taking rest. They remains motionless inside the hive. And this behavior can be compared to the normal sleep. As a proof to this I will give an excerpt from The Ohio State University's Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center website below. "Research done as recently as 1988 showed that bees at rest exhibit some of the same characteristics as humans in a sleep period: they don't move around, they don't react to stimuli very readily, their muscles relax, and their body temperature drops. So, while the buzzing in the hive is probably not snoring, research concludes that bees do sleep." You can access the full article from the below given link. http://www.oardc.ohio-state.edu/agnic/bee/faq.asp?qid=38 |
