The first physically documented computer bug was documented by Dr. Grace
Murray Hopper
when
she was programming the Mark II Calculator (computer). When the system was not functioning
correctly after troubleshooting the system, she found a moth between contacts
of a relay. After removing the moth the system functioned and the moth was
taped in her notes documenting the bug.
A computer error is displayed when a
known problem in the computer code (program) expects a result from the hardware
(electronic circuit) or software, and it
does not fall within the code parameters.
In most cases the error can return information about why the computer
had a problem.
Conclusion:
A bug is an unknown failure of the system
which usually is intermittent and causes the system to crash or results in some
type of failure. An error returns information about the system failure which is
displayed or documented on the display or in log file.
