What is differnce between bug and error?..

Answer / vinay bhatnagar

According to my understanding

Error- Error is obviously a mistake and an error is always a

Bug- Bug is not always a mistake, example- if we prepare one
system which having more features then client requirement so
its not a error because system is working good with more
features but its a bug as system is not according to the
requirement.

Thanks and Regards
