Answer 2

the biggest problem I have ever run into as as system administrator is the dreaded ID10T error. Where the idiot user (notice the similarity) does something stupid. Setting up password keys and dictionaries is sometimes difficult, but if you make a system foolproof only fools will use it. Communication between the developer, programer and user is important. All three must be focused on the end product. If the end user does not / is not able to comprehend the nature of the data inputs then the developers and programmer's time is waisted because you have to bo back and redefine goals snd start over. AAAAAARRRRRRRGGG

Answer 3

common problems are bugs that might be present in programming logic.

they include array overflow in languages like C,C++ where in u may be accessing elements outside the array. Eg. int arr[5];
for last element u may access it by arr[5] which points to 6th element that does not exist.

Sol: try debugging by printing the partial outputs at every stage and use debuggers present in the program editors like emacs etc.
