Semantic Error
During the semantic analysis phase, this type of error appears. These types of error are detected at
compile time.
Most of the compile time errors are scope and declaration error. For example: undeclared or
multiple declared identifiers. Type mismatched is another compile time error.
The semantic error can arises using the wrong variable or using wrong operator or doing operation
in wrong order.
Some semantic error can be:
Incompatible types of operands
Undeclared variable
Not matching of actual argument with formal argument
Example 1: Use of a non-initialized variable:
int i;
void f (int m)
{
m=t;
}
In this code, t is undeclared that's why it shows the semantic error.
Example 2: Type incompatibility:

int a = "hello"; // the types String and int are not compatible
Example 3: Errors in expressions:
String s = "...";
int a = 5 - s; // the - operator does not support arguments of type String
