Frankly that seems like a bad screening process to assume someone will catch syntax errors. It's not something you really need on the job, and aside from interview trivia, they weren't testing anything meaningful.
As far as improving yourself, keep walking down the road you are on. Consider whether there are other reasons you may have been rejected, and be as brutal as possible.
If this was the only reason you were rejected, you probably want to go somewhere else anyway. Interviewing processes for some companies are designed to weed out false positives, but are not designed to weed out false negatives. In other words, you can be very good at what you do, and not make it through an interview anyway for a trivial reason.
Good luck! Hopefully this is encouraging. Most of us have been rejected in interviews like this, make sure you take care of yourself; remind yourself of how far you have already come, and remember the road in front of you is likely very long, and this will become a distant memory soon enough.
Yeah I thought of other reasons too, like did I follow the proper etiquettes or something like that. But one thing I noticed is that interviewers want the code in Java or C or C++ and not in python as they say python has inbuilt functions, so it gets easy.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
