Answer
Look for incorrect calculations or misplaced logic.
Logic errors often stem from incorrect assumptions about how operations are performed. In an e-commerce app, a logic error might occur if discounts are applied before tax instead of after. Carefully trace the code flow: `finalPrice = price - discount + tax;` should be `finalPrice = (price - discount) + tax;`.
