    It's bascially the compiler telling you that it found something it didn't expect.
    Missing a ; is a common way of generating parse errors.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
