What is the difference between syntax and semantic errors in programming?

Syntax errors occur when the code violates the grammar rules of the programming language, making it unexecutable. Semantic errors, on the other hand, occur when the code is syntactically correct but produces incorrect results due to logical flaws.

Can you give me examples of each type of error?

Sure! A syntax error example is forgetting a semicolon at the end of a statement in languages like Java. A semantic error example is using the wrong variable in a calculation, which leads to incorrect output despite the code running without errors.

How can I debug these errors effectively?

To debug syntax errors, use a code editor that highlights errors. For semantic errors, add print statements or use a debugger to trace variable values and logic flow.
