Runtime: The program compiles, but something happens during execution that can crash it. Ex: Assigning a string to an int. Logical: The program compiles and executes successfully, but the output is incorrect. Ex: If you got a math formula or algorithm incorrect. Syntax: Some part of the code was written wrong, and the code can't compile until it's fixed. Ex: If you misspelled a keyword, or used a colon instead of a semicolon to end a statement.
