Question

1. (02.04 mc) kia is creating a program for her computer - science club that tracks the average time club members spend practicing programming during the week. she asks her club to submit their hours by sunday night. kia aggregates the number of hours and divides the total by the number of club members responding each week. one week no one submits any hours. kia executes the program and receives a divide by zero error. which statement most likely describes kias error? (2 points) syntax error, because kia made a mistake in typing in the code. runtime error, because the error occurred during execution. logical error, because kia made a mistake in the calculation. overflow error, because the program ran out of space to calculate the average.

Explanation:

A "divide by zero" error occurs during the execution of a program when the program attempts to divide a number by zero. Syntax errors are about incorrect code - writing like misspelled keywords. Logical errors are about incorrect algorithms giving wrong results. Overflow errors are about running out of memory for calculations. Since the error occurred during execution and is due to a mathematical operation that is not allowed (dividing by zero), it is a runtime error.

Answer:

Runtime error; because the error occurred during execution.
