Can someone explain the syntax error meaning in simple terms? or What exactly does 'syntax error mean

OMG, you guys are legends! 😭

I had no idea linters were a thing—just downloaded ESLint and it’s already catching stuff I missed.

Also, the "texting your crush" analogy made me lol. So accurate.

One follow-up: Do syntax errors ever *not* show up at the worst possible time? Asking for a friend. 😂

Thanks again!
