Hi guys,

A question from K&B text book has a parentheses ")" missing.. One of the options is "As the code stands, it will not compile"
Whereas, it turns out that it is just a typo and the code ran/compiled. So the correct answer was different.

In the actual exam, if you see a parentheses missing, should you take it as a compiler error? or just ignore it as a typo, and find the right answer (as in the K&B question above)?

Thank you.

From my own exam experience and from what people share in their result declarations, the exam doesn't have any typos. So 99% chance is that you'll not have any braces missing but if there is, then you should mark it as a compiler error...
