Syntax error
A syntax error refers to an error in a statement's syntax. This term is used mostly in association with programming languages. In compiled programming languages, a syntax error is a fatal error that the programmer must correct before being able to fully compile the program.
Trivia
- The statement "SYNTAX ERROR." was an extremely common (and hated!) output of BASIC interpreters running on home computers of the 1980s, as a result of tentative attempts of budding programmers (née game players) at making the computer do something constructive.
