# Error Code Format
[Back to Error Reference](/advisory-content/error-reference)
## Overview
Error codes follow the pattern `E<NNNN>` where the first digit indicates the category:
| `E1xxx` | Parse errors -- syntax and tokenization |
| `E2xxx` | Semantic errors -- types, scopes, validation |
| `E25xx` | Type errors -- overflow, bounds, casts |
| `E3xxx` | Codegen errors -- bytecode generation, NeoVM limits |
| `E4xxx` | I/O errors -- files, imports, permissions |
| `E5xxx` | Security warnings -- reentrancy, unsafe patterns |
