Ok, I am getting the following three errors from my code:
Moire.h:1: error: stray ‘\357’ in program
Moire.h:1: error: stray ‘\273’ in program
Moire.h:1: error: stray ‘\277’ in program
All which occur on line 1 of my code, which is just a comment. I have no idea what these errors actually mean. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
The \357 means that the character there is numer 357 in octal (base 8). On my windows system, all three of your characters look like garbage, so I don't really know what is going on.
Is this a Windows or Linux file? What editor did you use to create it?

It means you have some goofy characters on that line. They are probably invisible. Try deleting the line entirely and retyping it.Quote:

Most likely is that someone has tried to use say (c) as an actual symbol rather than writing out 3 characters.
The easy answer is just edit out the offending characters.
It's a UTF-8 byte order mark.
So, that means that the text was created in something like Notepad, right?

This is all in linux, and I am editing the text through nano.
Fortunately, the first line of code is just a comment. So I took brewbuck's advice and deleted the comment, which got rid of the problem.
Thanks for all the help.
Dear my friend the reason of the problem is related to utf8. So you need to convert your .cpp file into ANSI. To do so, firstly right click your .cpp file and open with notepad. Then, file->save as and see Encoding label and change ANSI from UTF8. and save. That's all. :))
