How To: cygwin shell syntax error near unexpected token

Wednesday, May 6, 2009

This is a common error and the reason is your are using Windows to create the file. Thus the line break is \r\n rather than \n.

All you need to do is change the format using a system command:

dos2unix filename_here

#include

int cPtr(char []);
int cCharacter(char []);

main()
{

const int iNumber = 30;
int *iPtr = NULL;
const int fFloat = 3.123456;
int *fNumber = 0.0;
const char *cPtr[] = 'A';

*iPtr = &iNumber;
*fFloat = &fNumber;
*cPtr = &cCharacter;

printf("\nThe Value of iNumber: %d\n", iPtr, &iNumber);
printf("\nThe Address of *iPtr = %p\n", iPtr, &iNumber);

printf("\nThe Value of fNumber: %d\n", fFloat, &fNumber);
printf("\nThe Address of *fFloat = %p\n", fFloat, &fNumber);

printf("\nThe Value of cCharacter: %c\n", cPtr, &cCharacter);
printf("\nThe Address of cPtr = %p\n", cPtr, &cCharacter);
