Syntax errors possible at runtime?

Question

Hello,
i need to know something about those, i didn't really find any good explinations at google..
so a syntax error is an error because we write something wrong: it's not written like it should
so a syntax error is a compile time error, but now im a bit unsure if it is possible to have a syntax error which doesnt give an error at compile time, but does at run time
i think like having
public void main(String[] args) // we forgot the static declaration
//do stuff
it won't give an syntax error because it is fine, but when we run it it gives an error... is this then a syntax error hidden at compile time but a detected syntax error at runtime?
anyone can confirm and if possible with my/an example?
thanks in advance

It's just not the right syntax for a class intended to run as a program.
