What is expression syntax error?

Answer 1

A syntax error is a coding error that prevents successful compilation.

Examples:

const int a = 42;

void foo (int);

void bar (int);

void foo () {

// syntax error: definition does not match prototype declaration

// reason: formal argument not defined

// solution: define formal argument

}

void bar (int b) {

if (a = b) {

// syntax error in expression: a = b

// reason: a is declared constant, cannot assign to constants outside of declaration

// solution: did you really mean a == b?

}

}

int main () {

// syntax error

// reason: return statement not found

// solution: return a value to host environment

}
