Im curious, why did you choose to close a question with a typo? It wouldn't be that hard for the OP to edit their response. Additionally, why need to downvote answers simply because they answered the question, whilst ignoring the typo?
If we do not close those kind of "oh, thanks mate, did not saw I forgot a semicolon!" post on Stack, this would make a ton of irrelevant questions. Stack has always been about being a huge Q & A website. So that is not a problem to close such a post imho.
I had the same thought! Based on the other comments, I think the asker's entire problem was the fact that they had a code typo. Not simply that they made a typo in writing the question. It would be completely ridiculous to close a question for that reason rather than just edit it.
Closing due to typos is an official reason. The questions are supposed to be useful for future readers. Solving typos does not fit with Stack Overflow's mission. Questions that should be closed should not be answered.
