The JavaScript exceptions "unexpected token" occur when a specific language construct was expected, but something else was provided. This might be a simple typo.

+ +

+SyntaxError: expected target, got "x"

What went wrong?

+ +

A specific language construct was expected, but something else was provided. This might be a simple typo.

+ +

Examples

+ +

Expression expected

+ +

For example, when chaining expressions, trailing commas are not allowed.

+ +
for (let i = 0; i < 5,; ++i) {
+  console.log(i);
+}
+// SyntaxError: expected expression, got ')'
+
+ +

Correct would be omitting the comma or adding another expression:

+ +
for (let i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
+  console.log(i);
+}
+
+ +

Not enough brackets

+ +

Sometimes, you leave out brackets around if statements:

+ +
function round(n, upperBound, lowerBound){
+  if(n > upperBound) || (n < lowerBound){
+    throw 'Number ' + String(n) + ' is more than ' + String(upperBound) + ' or less than ' + String(lowerBound);
+  }else if(n < ((upperBound + lowerBound)/2)){
+    return lowerBound;
+  }else{
+    return upperBound;
+  }
+} // SyntaxError: expected expression, got '||'
+ +

The brackets may look correct at first, but note how the || is outside the brackets. Correct would be putting brackets around the ||:

+ +
function round(n, upperBound, lowerBound){
+  if((n > upperBound) || (n < lowerBound)){
+    throw 'Number ' + String(n) + ' is more than ' + String(upperBound) + ' or less than ' + String(lowerBound);
+  }else if(n < ((upperBound + lowerBound)/2)){
+    return lowerBound;
+  }else{
+    return upperBound;
+  }
+}
+
+ +
