The following is a screenshot of Grammarly Premium that I've taken on my laptop. Have a look at both sentences in it.

In the first, I wrote the word "error" without s at the end, and in the second, with s. Are both the correct sentences grammatically? If so, is there any difference between them semantically?

Thanks.

Both are fine and mean the same in my opinion, in this context.

"No error" here means "not a single error".
"No errors" means there weren't any errors.

I'd use "with" rather than "in" by the way.

Thanks. Unnecessary. Thank us after we help you by adding the "Thanks" icon to any helpful post.
They're both grammatically correct. The difference is as stated by Barque. The overall meaning is the same. It's error-free!

I guess you meant [the] is optional. But I believe there shouldn't be, in any way, "the" in that sentence. Let me know how to use "the" in that sentence.

Yes, putting a word in square brackets means that it is optional. I don't know what you mean by "there shouldn't be a 'the' anywhere in this sentence". I didn't say that. All three of the following are possible:
