Syntax errors are typically picked up at design time by the code editor. If the programmer is no using a code editor (he is using notepad, for instance), syntax errors become compile time errors.

Whenever the compiler finds something incorrect. Examples (which may vary depending on the language) might be using a variable that has not been declared; in some languages using a variable that has been declared, but not assigned a value yet; unmatched parentheses; unmatched quotation marks for string constants; etc.

In general, the more errors are caught during compilation, the better, because that means you will have less problems at runtime.

In computer programming, 'Syntax' is a set of rules defined to write a source code. The compiler will check the syntax during the syntax analysis (parsing) phase of compilation process and any violation in the defined rule will lead to a 'Syntax Error'.

This means you have misused, or better, misspelled a key word in whatever high level language you are using.

To discover a syntax error, run the compiler and see if you get a syntax error.

Syntax errors fail compilation, as opposed to logic errors, which do not.

When referring to computer programming, a syntax error is an error in language. It generally refers to language that does not conform to the specific code being written.

Missing semicolon in c program is a compile time error?

It's a syntax error, which is detected during compilation, yes.


Is syntax error a compilation error?

Not entirely. A compilation error can contain a syntax error, but what a syntax error actually is, is an error in how the coding is spelled. For example, say you are trying to program a router. You type in the code, of which you know it's the correct code, but receive an error. You proofread the code and notice that one or more of the words are not spelled correctly. This would be a syntax error. They can also take the form of misplacing the words in the code's syntax.


When does a Borland c compiler throw an error as could not execute 16-bit process error code 32 when a program is executed after successful compilation?

If a program compiles and links successfully then there can be no compiler errors, period. Your error is a runtime error because the error only occurs when the machine code is executed, not during the compilation or linking processes. Runtime error 32 indicates a sharing violation. This essentially means you've attempted to access a file that is being used by another process.


When does generally declaration syntax error occur?

All syntax errors occur at compile time.


3 type of errors and explanation for each other visual basic?

Syntax Errors: These errors occur when the code violates the rules of the VB syntax. For example, missing a closing parenthesis or using an incorrect keyword. These errors are identified by the compiler during the code compilation process. Run-time errors: Run-time errors occur while the program is running. They generally occur due to invalid data input or incorrect logic in the code. They cause the program to crash or provide unintended results. Logic Errors: Logic errors occur when the code behaves unexpectedly or produces incorrect results due to flawed or incorrect logic. These errors can be challenging to identify, as the code compiles and runs without any error messages. Debugging techniques, such as code reviews or stepping through the code, are used to locate and correct logic errors.
