Syntax validation checks code for various programming and stylistic errors in
programming languages. There are syntax validators, also called linters,
available for almost every programming language in current use. A well-known
example is the lint utility for Unix-like operating systems, written by Stephen P.
Johnson at Bell Labs in 1979. The term “linter” is derived from this utility.
Syntax validators can check for things beyond syntax, flagging common errors
such as using variables before they are set and dividing by zero. Syntax
validators are highly specific to the programming language being checked,
designed to highlight code style that goes against the best practices of a
programming language community. Search engines reveal many online code
checkers for most programming languages.
A syntax checker checks for syntax errors in each statement, according to the
data set type. The syntax checker scans each line a user enters, in input mode,
when the user edits a data set. Before the syntax checker scans a record, the
record is put into the data set. If a syntax error is found, EDIT displays an error
message and switches from input mode to edit mode. The user can then use
EDIT subcommands to correct the error. For information about EDIT and the
SCAN operand, see .
It is a free tool so anybody can access this anytime for validate the syntax and
semantics of the particular language program.

Text editor
Virtually every IDE will have a text editor designed to write and
manipulate source code. Some tools may have visual components to
drag and drop front-end components, but most have a simple interface
with language-specific syntax highlighting.
