type of resource leak that occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations

thumb|An example of NaN appearing as a calculation error for input N/A on an electronic weather forecast In computing, NaN (), standing for Not a Number, is a particular value of a numeric data type (often a floating-point number) which is undefined as a number, such as the result of 0/0. Systematic use of NaNs was introduced by the IEEE 754 floating-point standard in 1985, along with the representation of other non-finite quantities such as infinities.

abnormal situation when a computer program such as a software application or an operating system stops functioning properly and exits

practice of using digital or analog errors for aesthetic purposes

mathematical expression with no necessarily obvious value

computer software failure mode in which a process makes no progress and stops responding to input

section of code in a program that can never be executed

section in the source code of a program which is executed but whose result is never used in any other computation. The execution of dead code wastes computation time and memory

type of buffer overflow

software anomaly

unnecesary source code or compiled code in a computer program which cannot affect its results

catalog of software weaknesses and vulnerabilities

crash reporting technology

in computing, a condition where an expression does not have a correct value

unintended or undocumented operation or feature
