What Is A Syntax Error In Python?

What is a syntax error in Python and why do syntax errors occur? Syntax errors in Python arise when Python fails to recognize a piece of code as a valid Python code! Unfortunately, syntax errors are typically regarded as the least specific type of error in Python and could force you to spend sometime verifying that your interpreter is accepting each piece of code as a valid Python code.
