Definition
A syntax error is a type of error that will prevent the code from compiling at compile time.
Relevance
Syntax errors will be a common sight. The most famous is forgetting to add a semicolon at the end of a line of code. Most of the time, syntax errors are quick to resolve.
Explanation
Because syntax errors prevent the code from compiling, compiled programming languages (such as C#) will not allow the user from running the code until the error is resolved.
Notes
In Microsoft Visual Studio, syntax errors are typically underlined in a red squigly line to try to help identify.
