Question
Please identify each error present, explain the type of error (syntax/logic/run-time), and provide a fix which changes the given code as little as possible (i.e. don't rewrite the whole thing; just point out what is wrong and a fix for it).

Explanation / Answer
5) There is a logic error.
if (score <= 90)......in this, it must be, if (score >= 90)
similarly for all if conditions scrore>=value.
Else all the grades ABCDEF will be printed
6) logical error.
as per the question, else if (completedUnits > 54) must be else if (completedUnits > 182)
and else if (gpa > 3.5 || completedUnits > 54) excecute if either of the statements is true,
since both the statements must be true, || should be replaced with &&, i.e,
else if (gpa > 3.5 && completedUnits > 54)
7) syntax error.
a statement must end with a semicolon in sum += value
there is also logical error in.....while (sum < 100)
it must be....... while (value <= 100) , as 100 is inclusive
8) logical error.
In the line ..........while (input == 0)
The while loop executes if the condition is true, i.e, in this case while loop executes iff user enters 0 that is vice-versa of the question. so it must be........while (input != 0)
9) logical error
since 1000 is also inclusive.......for (i=0; i<1000; sum++)
must be.....for (i=0; i<=1000; sum++)
and sum must be initiated to 0, i.e, int sum=0;
else it takes some garbage value and adds integers to it.
