Error messages are notifications or alerts that appear when there is an issue or mistake in a program. They provide information about the error and help programmers identify and fix the problem.
Imagine you're baking a cake and you accidentally put salt instead of sugar. The error message would be like a pop-up notification on your oven, telling you that there's an issue with the ingredients. It helps you realize your mistake and guides you to correct it.
