# Expected "x" -- got "y"
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
This error occurs when a specific token, e.g., `class` was encountered but a different one,
|
|
e.g., `circuit` was expected instead.
|
|
|
|
Erroneous code example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
class A {}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The compiler will reject this code with:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
Error: --> main.leo:1:1
|
|
|
|
|
1 | class A {}
|
|
| ^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
= expected 'import', 'circuit', 'function', 'test', '@' -- got 'class'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Solutions
|
|
|
|
The error message above says that `class` cannot be used at that location,
|
|
and also lists a few tokens that are valid. Note that this is context specific,
|
|
and depends on what tokens preceded the current token.
|
|
Using the list of tokens that are valid, and knowing that `circuit A {}` is valid syntax,
|
|
we replace `class` with `circuit`...:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
circuit A {}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
...and the error is now resolved.
