Answer / dillip palai

A failure of a system occurs when its behavior differs from
the one that has been specified. The part of the system
state leading to the failure is called the error. An error
is always caused by a fault. The fault is the original cause
of an error. A single event upset and an uninitialized
pointer variable in a C language program are examples of
hardware and software faults, respectively.
