Testing Your Project
This is the first time you will work through the following task. You will complete this section twice: once for the practice Create Task (when you can get help from your teacher and classmates) and once for the official Create Task (when you can't get help because it counts toward your AP score).

Logic Error
A logic error causes the program to produce the wrong output. (This is the most common error in Snap!)
Syntax Error
A syntax error means the rules of the programming language were not followed. (These are more common in text-based languages because you can easily mistype something or forget a needed semi-colon or quotation mark. By comparison, Snap! doesn't let you drop a block where it doesn't belong.)
Run-Time Error
A run-time error an error that happens while your program is running. What counts as a run-time error depends on the program you are using; in Snap! these are the errors that stop your program with a red halo surrounding the block that caused the error.
Overflow Error
An overflow error happens when a number is too extreme for the computer to handle (too big or too small).
