SyntaxError after parameter list

02/27/2023 10:20 TonyFinch09#1
I'm attempting to debug my code, but I keep receiving syntax errors that I don't understand.
Code:
function greetUser(name) {
  console.log("Hello " + name);
}

greetUser("John")
When I execute this code, I get the following error: "SyntaxError: missing) after parameter list".

I double-checked my code and couldn't discover any missing parenthesis. I'm not sure what's creating the problem or how to fix it. This error message does not provide me with any precise information about where the error is occurring in my code, making it impossible to discover and resolve the issue.

I tried searching for similar difficulties online and discovered this [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], but I'm still unable to locate the cause of the error. I've gone through my code several times. It's irritating since I can't move forward with my project until this issue is rectified. I need to correct this syntax mistake so that I may proceed with my coding responsibilities.

If you pasted this into an HTML file directly (outside of <script> tags), JavaScript will treat it as HTML and throw syntax errors.

<script>
function greetUser(name) {
console.log("Hello " + name);
}

greetUser("John");
</script>
