Syntax Error
A syntax error refers to a type of mistake made in the arrangement of words or code in a programming language that causes the program to be unable to interpret or execute the instructions properly. These errors typically occur when the rules or structure of the language are not followed correctly, leading to issues in the compilation or execution of the program. Common examples include missing parentheses, incorrect use of punctuation, or improper placement of keywords. Fixing syntax errors is essential for the successful running of a program.
