Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What is Semantic Analysis? Semantic analysis is the task of ensuring that the declarations and statements of a program are semantically correct, i.e, that their meaning is clear and consistent with the way in which control structures and data types are supposed to be used.
Detailed explanation-2: -A semantic error is text which is grammatically correct but doesn’t make any sense. An example in the context of the C# language will be “int x = 12.3; ‘’-12.3 is not an integer literal and there is no implicit conversion from 12.3 to int, so this statement does not make sense.
