In computer science, a syntax error is an error in the syntax of a sequence of characters or tokens that is intended to be written in a particular programming language.

Compiled languages

For compiled languages, syntax errors occur strictly at compile-time. A program will not compile until all syntax errors are corrected.

Interpreted languages

For interpreted languages,not all syntax errors can be reliably detected until run-time, and it is not necessarily simple to differentiate a syntax error from a semantic error; many don't try at all.
