    Every spoken language has a general set of rules for how words and sentences should be structured. These rules are collectively known as the language syntax. In computer programming, syntax serves the same purpose, defining how declarations, functions, commands, and other statements should be arranged.
    Many computer programming languages share similar syntax rules, while others have a unique syntax design. For example, C and Java use a similar syntax, while Perl has many characteristics that are not seen in either the C or Java languages.
    A programs source code must have correct syntax in order to compile correctly and be made into a program. In fact, it must have perfect syntax, or the program will fail to compile and produce a syntax error. A syntax error can be as simple as a missing parenthesis or a forgotten semicolon at the end of a statement. Even these small errors will keep the source code from compiling.
    Fortunately, most integrated development environments (IDEs) include a parser, which detects syntax errors within the source code. Modern parsers can even highlight syntax errors before a program is compiled, making it easy for the programmer to locate and fix them.
    NOTE: Syntax errors are also called compile-time errors, since they can prevent a program from compiliing. Errors that occur in a program after it has been compiled are called runtime errors, since they occur when the program is running.

        A [linguistic] concept. [Syntax] is the way how words are combined to phrases or sentences. Syntax is commonly defined as a set of rules, which, if followed, are capable to produce all possible sentences (or programms if you consider computer languages as well) of a specific language correctly.
        There are [psychologists] that assume that there has to be a [syntax] in our brains to understand language at all.

              A synthetic form of LSD (AKA Acid). Synt AX(Acid), SYNTAX is an idiotic abbreviation for a poorly concocted and relatively safe street drug.
              While LSD is known for being synthetic, this form is an altered form, known as LD-427 instead of the classic monikor LSD. It has not currently been banned, but the government is in the process of banning the substance.
              The drug is believed to be created by Internet [statistician], Chip [Piazza].

                Short for [Syntax Error]. When someone says [somthing] that makes no [sence], or is so unspecific, that the meening is lost.

                    A subcategory of [linguistics], syntax is the study of sentence structure and the rules that govern it. From a [linguistic] point of view, the rules of grammar as published in [textbooks] are irrelevant; whats important is that syntax categorizes the way the sentences are stored in our brain.
