A logical error is a flaw in the algorithm or logic of a program that causes it to operate incorrectly, but does not crash or throw syntax errors.
It is a method of debugging code by explaining the logic, line-by-line, out loud to an inanimate object. This often helps the programmer spot their own mistakes.
Hidden test cases usually test extreme edge cases, very large inputs (causing integer overflow), or empty inputs that your logic failed to account for.
