====== Syntax Error ======
[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

A **Syntax Error** is an error that occurs when a compiler or interpreter cannot understand the [dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:sourcecode]] statement using the published [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:syntax]] for that Source Code in order to generate machine code. **Syntax Errors** and "Semantic Errors" are not the same. The **Syntax Error** is an incorrect construction of the Source Code, whereas a "Semantic Error" is erroneous logic that produces the wrong result when executed. See syntax, parse and semantic error.
