Zusammenfassung
In a longitudinal study accompanying an advanced programming course, we manually analyzed 710 programming errors and categorized them based on an established framework of programming errors. Students initially make few syntax errors, but numerous semantic and logical errors. Over time, semantic errors almost completely vanish. The number of logical errors also decreases, but they never vanish completely. This suggests that students quickly grasp the programming language, but take more time to understand concepts and express them in a programming language.
