UKHeliBob:
A syntax error involves getting the structure of a command wrong as in

pinMode(aPin);

Note the missing second parameter
or

Serial.print("Hello World);

Note the missing closing quotes

Your error did not cause a compiler error because what you wrote was syntactically correct code. The compiler had no way of knowing that you had used the wrong variable in the comparison.

Thanks!
