In this walkthrough, you deliberately introduce a C++ syntax error in your code to learn what a compilation error looks like and how to fix it. When you compile the project, an error message indicates what the problem is and where it occurred.
Prerequisites
This walkthrough assumes that you understand the fundamentals of the C++ language.
In Game.cpp, delete the semicolon in the last line so that it resembles the statement:
return 0
On the menu bar, choose Build > Build Solution.
A message in the Error List window indicates that there was an error in the building of the project. The description looks something like the error message:
error C2143: syntax error: missing ';' before '}'
To view help information about this error, highlight it in the Error List window and then choose the F1 key.
Add the semicolon back to the end of the line that has the syntax error:
return 0;
On the menu bar, choose Build > Build Solution.
A message in the Output window indicates that the project compiled successfully.
This module helps you evaluate your debugging skills. You start with a C# console application that contains code logic issues and a specification that describes the requirements. You’re challenged to demonstrate your ability to identify and fix the issues using the Visual Studio Code debugger tools.
