Compile error is the error when you check for syntax error while run time error comes when you do execution of the program.

Errors which occur at the time of compilation are compile time errors and errors which occur at runtime are runtime errors. Example like syntax errors are all compile time errors. where as logical errors or out of memory, network error,etc occurs at the time of running the program file.

As rightly said by Avinash and Vinod the compile time error is the error at compile time. Syntactic error. Consider it as grammatical error (grammer of a compiler). Run time error is the memory related error or some undefined behavior. Consider you allocated a character array of 20 bytes to store your name. No issues with the statement so no compile time error.
