Error: missing right paren

[Dutchie_World_Wide]

Hi guys,

I am trying to get comfortable with the strings and random functions.

But when I "Compile to Chip" I get the following errors.

Random+String-Right.c(558): error: missing right paren
Random+String-Right.c(558): error: missing semicolon
Random+String-Right.c(558): error: missing right paren
Random+String-Right.c(498): error: failure

failure

Return code = 1

Flowcode was unable to compile the flowchart's C code due to the following errors:

If I knew what a right paren and semicolon is, I would look for it.
But I have no idea what to look for.

And while I do 1 more check on the calculation, I found the problem.

I by accident typed a (Space) in the Pi number.
Float = fmul(Float, 3. 1415926)

Problem solved.
Sorry for wasting space on the server

Hello Dutchie_World_Wide.
Fist well done for solving the cause of the error.
For future reference, and for any one else who is interested.
If you download Notepad++ or notepad2, this will display line numbering.
Then in 'Chip, 'Compiler Options' Where is says file viewer, just browse to the new notepad replacement. You only need to do this once.

Now compile to hex. Note the top line number in bracket e.g: Random+String-Right.c(558): error: missing right paren
You are interested in line 558.

Next Click on 'Chip' , View C....
New notepad replacement will load. Scroll down to line 558.
You will see: FCV_FLOAT = float32_mul(FCV_FLOAT, 3. 1415926);
Look for any mistakes along that line.
As you have correctly spotted, there is a space between dp and 1
You can use this method for solving any errors in the future.
If you can't remember the lines showing up with errors, just look when the flowchart is saved for a file with extension .msg.txt
You can alternately load .c file into your editor.
