I have a problem with Visual Studio on a C# solution. It displays totally random errors, but the projects build. Right now, I have 33 files with errors, and I can see red squiggly lines in all of them.

I tried cleaning / rebuilding the solution, closing Visual Studio and even restarting my computer. I can modify .cs files and I see the changes in the solution.

Does anyone have an idea about why it does that?

Why is Python giving me a syntax error at the simple `print` statement on line 9?

Python print statement “Syntax Error: invalid syntax”

I am a beginner to python and am at the moment having trouble using the command line. I have a script test.py (which only contains `print(&quot;Hello.&quot;)`), and it is located in the map C:\Python27. In my system variables, I have specified python to be C:\Python27 (I have other versions of Python installed on my computer as well).

I thought this should be enough to run `python test.py` in the command line, but when I do so I get this:

    File &quot;&lt;stdin&gt;&quot;, line 1
    python test.py
           ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What is wrong? Thanks in advance!


syntax error when using command line in python

I&#39;m trying to compile the NIST Biometric Image Software, and I have been having trouble all day. I finally got the source checked out right, and I installed cygwin with no problems (I have used it in the past), but when I went to compile, I get this error:

     $  sh setup.sh &lt;/cygdrive/c/NBIS&gt; [--without-X11]
     setup.sh: line 94: syntax error near unexpected token `$&#39;in\r&#39;&#39;
     &#39;etup.sh: line 94: `    case $1 in

Now I&#39;m sure any advanced coder would head to the setup.sh and look for problems, but I&#39;m not really much of a coder (I&#39;m only compiling this because there are no pre-compiled packages) so I don&#39;t know what to do. I didn&#39;t install any libraries with cygwin, I just left everything default. I&#39;m trying to follow the NBIS manual, but I don&#39;t really understand it that well and so I&#39;m struggling badly. Maybye taking a look at it you may notice something I missed: http://www.nist.gov/customcf/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=51097

Can anyone suggest what&#39;s wrong?

When I was answering [another question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/28953795/1903116) I came across a Node.js module with a top-level `return` statement. For example:

    console.log(&quot;Trying to reach&quot;);
    return;
    console.log(&quot;dead code&quot;);

This works [without any errors](http://ideone.com/PLbu80) and prints:

&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;

    Trying to reach

in the standard output but not &quot;`dead code`&quot; - the `return` actually ceased execution.

But according to the [specification of `return` statements in ECMAScript 5.1](http://es5.github.io/#x12.9),

&gt; **Semantics**
&gt;
&gt; An ECMAScript program is considered *syntactically incorrect if it contains a return statement that is not within a `FunctionBody`*.

In the program shown above `return` is not within any function. 

**Then why doesn&#39;t this throw?**

Why does a module level return statement work in Node.js?

 I have class struct definition as follows:

    
    #include &lt;limits&gt;
    
    struct heapStatsFilters
    {
	    heapStatsFilters(size_t minValue_ = 0, size_t maxValue_ = std::numeric_limits&lt;size_t&gt;::max())
        { 
             minMax[0] = minValue_; minMax[1] = maxValue_; 
        }

	    size_t minMax[2];
    };

The problem is that I cannot use &#39;std::numeric_limits&lt;size_t&gt;::max()&#39; and the compiler says:

`Error	8	error C2059: syntax error : &#39;::&#39;`

`Error	7	error C2589: &#39;(&#39; : illegal token on right side of &#39;::&#39;`


The compiler which I am using is Visual C++ 11 (2012)

Syntax error with std::numeric_limits::max

I&#39;m getting this JavaScript error on my console:

&gt; Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

This is my code:

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-js --&gt;

    var foo = &#39;bar&#39;;​

&lt;!-- end snippet --&gt;

	 
It&#39;s super simple, as you can see. How could it be causing a syntax error?

No visible cause for &quot;Unexpected token ILLEGAL&quot;

I have some JavaScript code that works in FireFox but not in Chrome or IE. 

In the Chrome JS Console I get the follow error: 

&gt; &quot;Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input&quot;.

The JavaScript code I am using is:

    &lt;script&gt;
     $(function() {
     $(&quot;#mewlyDiagnosed&quot;).hover(function() {
        $(&quot;#mewlyDiagnosed&quot;).animate({&#39;height&#39;: &#39;237px&#39;, &#39;top&#39;: &quot;-75px&quot;});
     }, function() {
        $(&quot;#mewlyDiagnosed&quot;).animate({&#39;height&#39;: &#39;162px&#39;, &#39;top&#39;: &quot;0px&quot;});
     });
    &lt;/script&gt;

It says the error is on the last line which is `});`

JavaScript error (Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input)

I&#39;ve always had to put `null` in the else conditions that don&#39;t have anything. Is there a way around it?

For example,

    condition ? x = true : null;

Basically, is there a way to do the following?

    condition ? x = true;

Now it shows up as a syntax error.

FYI, here is some real example code:

    !defaults.slideshowWidth ? defaults.slideshowWidth = obj.find(&#39;img&#39;).width()+&#39;px&#39; : null;

How to solve SyntaxError on autogenerated manage.py?

Everyone runs into syntax errors. Even experienced programmers make typos. For newcomers, it&#39;s just part of the learning process. However, it&#39;s often easy to interpret error messages such as:

&gt; PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected &#39;{&#39; in index.php on line 20

The unexpected symbol isn&#39;t always the real culprit. But the line number gives a rough idea of where to start looking.

&gt; Always look at the **code context**. The syntax mistake often hides in the mentioned *or* in **previous code lines**. Compare your code against syntax examples from the manual.

While not every case matches the other. Yet there are some [general steps to **solve syntax mistakes**](https://stackoverflow.com/a/18050072).

**Syntax errors raised on vendor code:** Finally, consider that if the syntax error was not raised by editing your codebase, but after an external vendor package install or upgrade, it could be due to PHP version incompatibility, so check the vendor&#39;s requirements against your platform setup.



PHP parse/syntax errors; and how to solve them

I tried to execute the following code on a Python IDLE 

    from __future__ import braces 

And I got the following error:

&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;

    SyntaxError: not a chance

What does the above error mean? 

Syntax Error: Not a Chance - What is this error?

I have an existing project that uses `@Override` on methods that override *interface* methods, rather than superclass methods. I cannot alter this in code, but I would like Eclpse to stop complaining about the annotation, as I can still build with Maven.

How would I go about disabling this error?

**Note: Due to project requirements, I need to compile for Java 1.5.**

Why does Eclipse complain about @Override on interface methods?

Does anyone have a `T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM`?

PHP expects T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM?

A few months ago I tattooed a [fork bomb][1] on my arm, and I skipped the whitespaces, because I think it looks nicer without them. But to my dismay, **sometimes** (not always) when I run it in a shell it doesn&#39;t start a fork bomb, but it just gives a syntax error. 

    bash: syntax error near unexpected token `{:&#39;

Yesterday it happened when I tried to run it in a friend&#39;s [Bash][2] shell, and then I added the whitespace and it suddenly worked, `:(){ :|:&amp; };:` instead of `:(){:|:&amp;};:`

Does the whitespace matter; have I tattooed a syntax error on my arm?!

It seems to always work in [zsh][3], but not in Bash.

[A related question][4] does not explain anything about the whitespaces, which really is my question; **Why is the whitespace needed for Bash to be able to parse it correctly?**

I am using a one page checkout extension, but when I disable that the error still shows. I thought it might had something to do with the reviews on the product page (as I moved the reviews out of the tabs), but undoing that change didn&#39;t fix the error on the product pages.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0

The solutions offered in other related questions, such as including the proper presets (es2015) in .babelrc, are already implemented in my project.

I have two projects (lets call them A and B) which both use ES6 module syntax.  In Project A, I&#39;m importing Project B which is installed via npm and lives in the node_modules folder. When I run my test suite for Project A, I&#39;m getting the error: 

&gt; SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

Which is preceded by this alleged erroneous line of code from Project B:
 

&gt; (function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import
&gt; createBrowserHistory from &#39;history/lib/createBrowserHistory&#39;;

The iife appears to be something npm or possibly babel related since my source file only contains &quot;import createBrowserHistory from &#39;history/lib/createBrowserHistory&#39;; The unit tests in Project B&#39;s test suite runs fine, and if I remove Project B as a dependency from Project A, my test suite then (still using es6 imports for internal project modules) works just fine.

Babel unexpected token import when running mocha tests

I get this PHP error:

&gt; Parse error: syntax error, unexpected
&gt; T_VARIABLE


From this line:

    $list[$i][$docinfo[&#39;attrs&#39;][&#39;@groupby&#39;]] = $docinfo[&#39;attrs&#39;][&#39;@count&#39;];


Is there anything wrong with this line?

What is unexpected T_VARIABLE in PHP?

I have an HTML file :

    &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt;

    &lt;/head&gt;

The error says:


    Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token &lt;    core.js: 1
    

It shows the error at `&lt;!doctype html&gt;` of the `app.html`.

`core.js` looks like this:

        $scope.deleteTodo = function(id) {
            $http.delete(&#39;/musicians&#39; + id)
                .success(function(data) {
                    $scope.todos = data;
    				      console.log(data);
                })
                .error(function(data) {
                    console.log(&#39;Error: &#39; + data);
                });
        };

        };*/
    
    });

It also gives me `Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.3.14/$injector/modulerr?p0=Todo&amp;p1=Error%3A%2…gleapis.com%2Fajax%2Flibs%2Fangularjs%2F1.3.14%2Fangular.min.js%3A17%3A381)`

Besides, in console, when I click at `core.js`, it shows the contents of `app.html` and name it `core.js`.

Here is the snapshot:

![Showing app.html instead of core.js][1]


Also, as in the image, when I click `index.html`, it shows `app.html`. However, I do not have any file that is named `index.html` and I load `app.html` by default instead of `index.html`.

I have tried adding/removing `type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;` but no help with that either.

Also, status 200 is returned on get request for `core.js`.

![Status: 200][2]

What might be wrong?

Unexpected token &lt; in first line of HTML

I have checked my PHP ini file (`php.ini`) and `display_errors` is set and also error reporting is `E_ALL`. I have restarted my Apache webserver.

I have even put these lines at the top of my script, and it doesn&#39;t even catch simple parse errors. For example, I declare variables with a `&quot;$&quot;` and I don&#39;t close statements` &quot;;&quot;`. But all my scripts show a blank page on these errors, but I want to actually see the **errors** in my browser output. 

```
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set(&#39;display_errors&#39;, 1);
```

What is left to do?



How do I get PHP errors to display?

I&#39;m trying to connect with PostgreSQL database through Laravel in order to do a php artisan migrate but doesn&#39;t seem to be directed since it&#39;s reading the database name of MySQL. 

Here are the commands from database.php:

If I remove the MySQL paths I&#39;ll get:

    [InvalidArgumentException]

&lt;hr&gt;
**EDIT:**
When trying to do php artisan migrate I get a &#39;PDOException: could not find driver&#39;. I&#39;m using WAMP and I&#39;m in Win8.1. Using PostgreSQL as database.

&lt;hr&gt;
**EDIT:**
Have experimented a series of alternative solutions but I&#39;m still ought to get this solved.
The `php.ini` file was checked in Apache, WAMP (from php folder) and PostgreSQL. The `extension_dir` is correct as it being -&gt; `extension_dir = &quot;c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/&quot;`

The `extension=pdo_pgsql.dll` and `extension=pgsql.dll` are uncommented.

Done the `PATH` trick in the &#39;System Variables&#39; and rebooted. No chance. 

Thanks for the help so far.

These are my drivers `php_pdo_driver.h` &amp; `php_pdo.h` from `C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\EnterpriseDB-ApachePHP\php\SDK\include\ext\pdo`

Laravel: Error [PDOException]: Could not Find Driver in PostgreSQL

In Ruby, I can define a method foo=(bar):

    irb(main):001:0&gt; def foo=(bar)
    irb(main):002:1&gt;   p &quot;foo=#{bar}&quot;
    irb(main):003:1&gt; end
    =&gt; nil

Now I&#39;d like to check if it has been defined,

    irb(main):004:0&gt; defined?(foo=)
    SyntaxError: compile error
    (irb):4: syntax error, unexpected &#39;)&#39;
     from (irb):4
     from :0

What is the proper syntax to use here?  I assume there must be a way to escape &quot;foo=&quot; such that it is parsed and passed correctly to the defined? operator.


In Ruby, how do I check if method &quot;foo=()&quot; is defined?

I am getting a really weird JavaScript error when I run this code:

```javascript
&lt;script type = &#39;text/javascript&#39;&gt;
var ask = confirm(&#39;&quot;.$message.&quot;&#39;);
if (ask == false)
{
    return false;     
}

else
{
    return true;
}
&lt;/script&gt;
```
In the JavaScript console it says:

`Syntax Error: Illegal return statement` 

It occurs at `return true;` and `return false;`

(I am echoing this javascript from a php function; the `$message` variable is one of the php parameters)

What is wrong with my code?


Syntax error: Illegal return statement in JavaScript

A friend wrote some code for me, and there was one file with a weird syntax error in it. After a bit of hunting, I narrowed it down to this section of code, which should reproduce the error:

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-js --&gt;

    var say = functіon(message) {
      alert(message);
      return message;
    };

    say(say(&quot;Goodbye!&quot;));

&lt;!-- end snippet --&gt;

When I run this, I see an error in the Internet Explorer console that says `SCRIPT1004: Expected &#39;;&#39;`. I don&#39;t see a semicolon missing anywhere, and I can&#39;t imagine where it wants me to put one.

Where does it expect a semicolon and why does it expect a semicolon there?

How do I fix this missing semicolon syntax error in Javascript?

This is weird.  This is what happens at the JavaScript console in Chrome (version 42.0.2311.135, 64-bit).

&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;

    &gt; 0
    &lt; 0
    &gt; 00
    &lt; 0
    &gt; 0.0
    &lt; 0
    &gt; 00.0
    X Uncaught &gt; SyntaxError: Unexpected number

Firefox 37.0.2 does the same, although its error message is:

&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;

    SyntaxError: missing ; before statement

There&#39;s probably some technical explanation regarding the way JavaScript parses numbers, and perhaps it can only happen when tinkering at the console prompt, but it still seems wrong.

Why does it do that?

&gt; SyntaxError: (unicode error) &#39;unicodeescape&#39; codec can&#39;t decode bytes
&gt; in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

I have tried to replace the \ with \\ or with / and I&#39;ve tried to put an r before *&quot;C..* but all these things didn&#39;t work.

Trying to make a call and retrieve a very simple, one line, JSON file.

    $(document).ready(function() {
    
    	jQuery.ajax({ 
    		type: &#39;GET&#39;,
    		url: &#39;http://wncrunners.com/admin/colors.json&#39; ,
    		dataType: &#39;jsonp&#39;, 
    		success: function(data) { 
    			alert(&#39;success&#39;);
    		}
    	});
    	
    	 
      });//end document.ready

Here&#39;s the RAW Request:

    GET http://wncrunners.com/admin/colors.json?callback=jQuery16406345664265099913_1319854793396&amp;_=1319854793399 HTTP/1.1

Here&#39;s the RAW Response:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2011 02:21:24 GMT
    Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7d SE/0.5.3

    ETag: &quot;166a2402-10-4eaaeaff&quot;
    Accept-Ranges: bytes
    Content-Length: 16
    Content-Type: text/plain
    Connection: close
    
    {&quot;red&quot; : &quot;#f00&quot;}

The JSON is coming back in the response (red : #f00), but Chrome reports **Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :    colors.json:1**

If I navigate directly to url itself, the JSON is returned and is displayed in the browser.

If I paste the contents of colors.json into JSLINT, the json validates.

Any ideas why I can&#39;t get this error and I never make it to the success callback?

**EDIT** - the jQuery.ajax() call above runs perfect at jsfiddle.net, and returns the alert &#39;success&#39; as expected.  

**EDIT 2** - this URL works fine &#39;http://api.wunderground.com/api/8ac447ee36aa2505/geolookup/conditions/q/IA/Cedar_Rapids.json&#39;  I noticed that it returned as TYPE: text/javascript and Chrome did not throw the Unexpected Token.  I&#39;ve tested several other url&#39;s and the ONLY one that does not throw the Unexptected Token is the wunderground that is returned as TYPE: text/javascript.   

Streams returned as text/plain and application/json are not being parsed correctly.

I know that semicolons are unnecessary in Python, but they can be used to cram multiple statements onto a single line, e.g.

&lt;!-- language: none --&gt;

    &gt;&gt;&gt; x = 42; y = 54

I always thought that a semicolon was equivalent to a line break. So I was a bit surprised to learn (h/t [Ned Batchelder on Twitter](https://twitter.com/nedbat/status/709326204051005440)) that a double semicolon is a SyntaxError:

&lt;!-- language: none --&gt;

    &gt;&gt;&gt; x = 42
    &gt;&gt;&gt; x = 42;
    &gt;&gt;&gt; x = 42;;
      File &quot;&lt;stdin&gt;&quot;, line 1
        x = 42;;
               ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

&lt;/p&gt;

I assumed the last program was equivalent to `x = 42\n\n`. I’d have thought the statement between the semicolons was treated as an empty line, a no-op. Apparently not.

**Why is this an error?**

Why is a double semicolon a SyntaxError in Python?

**Ruby**:

&lt;!-- language: lang-rb --&gt;

    true == true == true
&gt; syntax error, unexpected tEQ

vs. **JavaScript**:

&lt;!-- language: lang-js --&gt;

    true == true == true
    // =&gt; true

vs. **C**: 

&lt;!-- language: lang-c --&gt;

    1 == 1 == 1
    // =&gt; 1

Why does the expression (true == true == true) produce a syntax error?

I&#39;m attempting to set up Apollo GraphQL support in a new React project, but when I try to compile a query using `gql` I keep receiving the error:

&gt; Syntax Error: Expected Name, found }

This is generated by the following code:

    import gql from &#39;graphql-tag&#39;
  
    const query = gql`
        {
          user(id: 5) {
            firstName
            lastName
          }
        }
      `
    
    console.log(query)

I&#39;m basing this code off the example code found here: https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-tag

What is the `Name` referred to in the error message? Does anyone know what I&#39;m doing wrong here?

GraphQL gql Syntax Error: Expected Name, found }

Can someone elaborate on the following gcc error?

    $ gcc -o Ctutorial/temptable.out temptable.c 
    temptable.c: In function ‘main’:
    temptable.c:5: error: ‘for’ loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode

temptable.c:

    ...
    /* print Fahrenheit-Celsius Table */
    main()
    {
    	for(int i = 0; i &lt;= 300; i += 20)
    	{
    		printf(&quot;F=%d C=%d\n&quot;,i, (i-32) / 9);		
    	}
    }

P.S: I vaguely recall that `int i` should be declared before a `for` loop. I should state that I am looking for an answer that gives a historical context of C standard.
