The bug
With the new /execute command syntax, the sub-commands if score and unless score should be able to compare scores to players that don't have their scores set. This does not work, however; an error is returned about how there is no tracked player on the scoreboard, which does not line up with behavior in Java Edition.
In Java Edition, /execute (if|unless) score can compare scores that aren't set and is often used for initializing scores. Comparing an undefined score to a value always returns false.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new scoreboard objective and set some score on it. I'll be using a fake player named "one".
/scoreboard objectives add foo dummy /scoreboard players set one foo 1
Compare your currently undefined score to the "one" score.
/execute if score @s foo = one foo
→❌ "There is no tracked player '<player>' on the scoreboard; Execute subcommand if score test failed."

@Chris_KR To clarify, this is on the subject of the new syntax for the /execute command. In Bedrock version 1.19.10 and newer, the syntax of /execute has been changed to reflect that of Java Edition's.
in the bedrock edition of minecraft the execute command has a different syntax. to do something withe the scores you need to do /execute @a[scores={scoreboars=2}] ~~~ say hi
