What are logical errors?

A logical error is when something doesn’t work right because the steps used to solve a problem are messed up, even if each step looks okay on its own.

Imagine you're trying to make your favorite sandwich, let’s say it's peanut butter and jelly. You have all the ingredients: bread, peanut butter, jelly. But instead of putting peanut butter on one piece of bread and jelly on the other, you put both on the same piece of bread. Then you try to bite into it, it doesn’t taste right because you didn’t follow the correct steps to make the sandwich.

That’s like a logical error: everything is there, and each part seems okay, but the whole thing doesn’t work the way it should because the order or the choices made along the way were wrong.

Think of your favorite toy, maybe a robot that moves when you press buttons. If you press the wrong buttons in the wrong order, the robot might not do what you expect, even though each button works fine on its own. That’s also a logical error, it's all about following the right steps to get the right result.
