Abstract
We all like to think that our applications do not have errors in them, but in reality every piece of software that we use has bugs. Some are simply errors in the logic of the program, others are caused by unexpected input from the user. Sometimes problems occur because of the physical limitations of the computer, such as running out of memory. If we could guarantee that situations like this would never happen it would make programming much easier, but this is unfortunately not the case.
