Information about Syntax Error
For 2003 film, see .
In computer science a syntax error ( IPA: /ˈsɪntæks ɛrə(ɹ)/ ) refers to an error in the syntax of a sequence of characters or tokens that is intended to be written in a particular programming language.
If a syntax error is encountered during compilation it must be corrected if the source code is to be successfully compiled. An attribute that often separates commercial quality compilers from academic projects is the extent to which an attempt is made to automatically correct the error and continue processing the source code.
Syntax errors may also occur when an invalid equation is entered into a calculator. This can be caused by opening brackets without closing them, or less commonly, using several decimal points in one number.

A programming language is an artificial language that can be used to control the behavior of a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages, like natural languagess, are defined by syntactic and semantic rules which describe their structure and meaning respectively.

parsing (more formally syntactic analysis) is the process of analyzing a sequence of tokens to determine its grammatical structure with respect to a given formal grammar. A parser is the component of a compiler that carries out this task.

In computer programming, a logic error is a bug in a program that causes it to operate incorrectly, but not to fail. Because a logic error will not cause the program to stop working, it can produce incorrect data that may not be immediately recognizable.
