Hi,
I have a question regarding what does fatal error mean. I was not able to find anything about it anywhere; can anyone help me in explaining this?
Thank you.
In the computing technology, a fatal exception error is a bug that causes abortion of a program and may therefore move back the user to the operating system itself. Whenever this happens, the data that program was processing gets lost. A fatal error is distinguished from a fatal system error by the error message that it produces as a “blue screen of death(BSOD).”
To define “fatal error,” it is any error that causes a program to abort. There are times this error will bring you back to the operating system. When you are using a program and this error happens, you may lose whatever data the program was currently processing. “Fatal error” is different from “fatal system error.”
The latter is referring specifically to the operating system while the first is to any program. Fatal error is the kind of error that is so severe it triggers the program to completely halt and close it losing all the data it is currently processing. There are many reasons how fatal error is caught. One is a corrupt program.
When a program is executed, it calls many processes and subroutines from many different files. If one of those files is damaged or missing, it can trigger a sudden stop in the program’s processing. Another possible cause is error in programming.
