Error Window/Fixing Syntax Errors
Follow the steps below to create and fix a syntax error (see Figure 3.7):
1 Create a syntax error by deleting the letter “p” from the function name “printf” in
ExampleCode3.1.c.
2 After deleting the letter “p,“ attempt to compile the program. When the Dynamic C
IDE detects an error, the Compiler Messages window will display a list of warnings
and errors.
3 Double-click on the error message in the Compiler Messages window and the source
code will be displayed in the editor window. The line of code that contains the error
will be highlighted.
4 Fix the syntax error by reinserting the letter “p” into the “printf” function name.
5 After restoring the letter “p,“ compile and execute the program again to make sure the
error is resolved.
