what is syntex error

In computer science, a syntax error ( not Syntex ) is an error in the syntax of a sequence of characters or tokens that is intended to be written in a particular programming language. For compiled languages, syntax errors are detected at compile-time. A program will not compile until all syntax errors are corrected. A syntax error is an error in the source code of a program. Since computer programs must follow strict syntax to compile correctly, any aspects of the code that do not conform to the syntax of the programming language will produce a syntax error. read less

Syntax Errors: This errors arise when the programmer uses the wrong syntax. For Example: To display something in C++, we use a ‘cout’ statement. In Java, however, we use the ‘System.out.println’ statement for printing. Misspelling these statements, or using a cout statement in Java would lead to a syntax error as one particular languages keyword and syntax would be incomprehensible to another language. Such errors are identified by the compiler during compilation. In such a case, the program cannot be executed, and the program is terminated abruptly. The code would have to be modified and re-compiled in order to be executed. read less

Syntax errors occur when the rules of a programming language are violated. Syntax errors are detected during compile-time for compiled languages. For interpreted languages, a syntax error is detected during program execution. The compiler or interpreter can detect and isolate such errors. When syntax errors are present, the compilation fails and is terminated after listing the errors and the line numbers in the program, where the errors have occurred. Syntax errors are the most common errors, and typically they involve incorrect punctuation, incorrect keywords, incorrect indentation, incorrect arguments or undefined term. For example, in Python, print (Welcome to Python) contains a syntax error. In this example, the error is due to missing quotes. The correct statement is: print (“Welcome to Python”) Similarly, pint(“Hello World”), contains an error. In this example, the error is incorrect spelling of keyword print. read less
