Explanation

An error is a mistake or something done wrong. For example, writing the wrong answer in maths is an error. Computers also show “error” when something doesn’t work correctly. In daily life, errors happen when people make wrong choices or forget something. Errors can be small, like spelling mistakes, or big, like an error in a decision at work. Everyone makes errors, but they help us learn and improve.
