This Question has been asked several times in this
forum.Still I think there is confusion about the same.You
can refer ISTQB sylabi book as reference.
Error : Incorrect human action that can result in deviation
from expected result.
Bug/ Defect : Bug & defect is like two terms used for same
thing.Bug/ Defect is variation in component or system that
may cause component or system to fail to perform its
intened operation.
Error can lead to Bug/Defect then it can lead to failure of
system.

Answer / swapna
Error/Mistake
A human action that produces an incorrect result.
E.g.:-Syntax error
Fault/Defect
A flaw in component or system that can cause the component
or system to fail to perform its required function.
E.g.:-An incorrect statement when u
divide number/zero we have an
execution time fault.
Failure/Bug
Deviation of the component or system from its expected
delivery, service or result.
E.g:-20/10=3 we should get 2 but it is
displaying output 3.

Answer / siva
Error: Error can be either syntax mismatch or runtime (ex:
even though code compiles correctly some times it won't run
correctly due dynamic linking of dlls) error or logical error
(ex: c = a + b, in C language that code works for 2 + 3 but
not for 35655 + 35655, which is a logical error)
Bug: When test engineer finds an issue first he confirms
whether this is issue or not by look at functional spec. If
he confirms its a bug, then it is called as bug.
Defect: When test engineer files/tracks that bug in a bug
tracking tool like Bugzilla or QC something like that there
after Bug becomes Defect.
But in general usage both bug & defect are same
