Usually an "error" refers to some bit of illegal code in your program. It may not conform to the language grammar, or it might be a runtime error (ex: division by zero). A "bug" is a mistake made by the programmer which causes the program to act in a manner for which it was not designed to act.
Note that sometimes a bug is considered to be a type of error, usually called a logic error.
Errors may be due to the variation of the input data, not conforming to the specification. The program may be fine.
Bugs on the other hand, are mistakes in the programs. It could be found out by the occurrence of the errors described prior, but also just "wrong" logic within the code (e.g., if (x > 3000) exit program should have coded as if (x < 3000) exit program.)
Sometimes, you can blame others for causing errors to your software, but you can only blame yourself for the bugs! That's the difference.
A bug is a flaw or small problem in computer software. It may make it difficult or impossible to use the computer software. A bug is the result of an error made by the developers of software. Error is a more general term for improper, inappropriate or incorrect actions or responses.

What is difference between exception and a bug?
Exceptions can be errors that have been caught or where expected. They can then be managed. The may look like bugs to the user if the error message is outputted to the screen but this is a handled procedure. A bug something not been anticipated and so causes an error and this error is not handled. So bugs can be more serious as they can cause the program to stop running.
