SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
Error type
What went wrong?
There is an error with how a function is called. This might be a typo, a missing operator, or an unescaped string, for example.
Examples
Because there is no "+" operator to concatenate the string, JavaScript expects the argument for the log function to be just "PI: ". In that case, it should be terminated by a closing parenthesis.
JavaScript
Copy Code
console.log("PI: " Math.PI); // SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
You can correct the log call by adding the "+" operator:
JavaScript
Copy Code
console.log("PI: " + Math.PI); // "PI: 3.141592653589793"
