What is the term used by programmers to describe a program that compiles correctly the first time, has no errors and works exactly as intended?

This is my first question, so I don't know if the original details will be erased. At risk of repeating myself, they were:
"What is the term used by programmers to describe a program that compiles correctly the first time, has no errors and works exactly as intended?"
I have consulted with several friends, and there is no real term for it as far as they know, but they call it a "gold-star program". I can live with that. Thanks for the help, guys. :-)

I was a programmer for 20 years before retiring and the answer is impossible. The main reason is that the user never knows what he really wanted until he sees the results of the first test.

As far as I know the written program is called "Source" and the compiled program is called an "Executable".

That would be one which has been carefully planned, which would also appear to be a rarity. It's more likely to be known as Father Christmas, as few adults would believe it.
Actually it may well be referred to as "Version 1.0" :)

right here the calculation, extra or less... double pi = 0; for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) { pi + = pow(-a million, n)/(2*n+a million); } pi * = 4; you should do the outer loop and the person interaction.

The only phrase that comes to mind is "well-formed".
