The same way C/ C++ or any programming language has certain predefined set of rules, if our program doesn't comply to that rules, then we will get syntax error. For example if you miss a semi colon after the end of printf or cout then it throws syntax error. As in C/ C++ compiler it is defined that printf or cout has to end with semi colon. The same way if we miss quotation marks in printf or cout or parenthesis in if condition ( or in while,for loops) the syntax error is thrown as it is violating C/C++ grammar. read less

Syntax error means you missing some token or function. Like in c language you not enter semicolon at the end of sentence, then it gives syntax error.

The way you represent or write your code considered as default code. Whenever you need to write same methods or anything that inherits the default or base code, must match the semantics of already defined base code, anything that mismatch with base code writing style will results in a syntax error.
