What happens if there are compilation errors in your code?

When there are compilation errors in your code, it is generally the case that the errors are identified during the deployment process. This means that the system won't alert you immediately as the code is being written or saved; instead, it will only notify you of these errors after you attempt to deploy the code. This allows you to first stage and prepare your code changes for deployment before the platform validates whether everything will compile correctly.

Recognizing compilation errors after attempting to deploy is important because it provides a checkpoint to evaluate the entire set of changes as they would be applied in the production environment. This helps ensure that you are not alerted for issues prematurely, allowing for a smoother workflow in managing code changes. The inability to see the errors right away also facilitates a more streamlined development process, where developers can focus on writing code without continuous interruptions for minor issues that may arise.

In contrast to the other options, there are typically no immediate alerts for errors while writing your code, nor are errors just logged without visibility; they need to be addressed to successfully carry through deployment. Automatic email notifications are also not standard behavior, as the focus is usually on in-system alerts during the deployment phase.
