Syntaksivirheiden

Syntaksivirheiden (Finnish for "syntax errors") are mistakes in the structure of a programming language or a formal language. These errors occur when the code does not conform to the language's syntax rules, which are the set of rules that define the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured programs in that language. Syntax errors are typically detected by the compiler or interpreter during the compilation or interpretation process, and they prevent the program from running correctly.

Common examples of syntax errors include missing semicolons, unmatched parentheses, incorrect use of keywords, and improper indentation. These errors can be easily identified and corrected by the programmer, often with the help of integrated development environments (IDEs) that provide real-time error checking and suggestions.

Syntax errors are distinct from logical errors, which occur when the code runs but produces incorrect results due to flawed algorithms or incorrect assumptions. While syntax errors are relatively straightforward to fix, logical errors can be more challenging to identify and resolve, often requiring debugging and testing to uncover the underlying issues.
