I'm unsure of what the error is here, any help would be really appreciated
#Simple javascript 'missing '}' or illegal start of expression' error

Send the code like that instead.
```js
Code here
```
Check that all of them have closing one have their opening. Go one by one! You should see it.
novel yacht
public int countAbc(String str) {
if(str.length < 3) {
return 0;
} else {
count = 0;
for(let i = 0; i <= str.length - 3; i++) {
if (str.substring(i, i+2) == "abc") || (str.substring(i, i+2) == "aba") {
count++;
} else {
}
}
return count;
}
}
I checked that they all have closings after openings, so I'm not sure what's wrong
opaque peak
maybe the empty else?
dense dock
public int countAbc(String str) {
if(str.length < 3) { // 5
return 0;
}
else { // 4
count = 0;
for(let i = 0; i <= str.length - 3; i++) { // 3
if (str.substring(i, i+2) == "abc") || (str.substring(i, i+2) == "aba") { // 2
count++;
} // 2
else { // 1
} // 1
} // 3
return count;
} // 4
} // 5
If you count them from inside to outside you can see that something is wrong and you can pretty much see where
dense dock
Idk, I do that from my phone but quickly like that it seems like something is badly closed
opaque peak
you have 6 opening 6 closing
it looks fine xD
;compile
public int countAbc(String str) {
if(str.length < 3) {
return 0;
} else {
count = 0;
for(let i = 0; i <= str.length - 3; i++) {
if (str.substring(i, i+2) == "abc") || (str.substring(i, i+2) == "aba") {
count++;
} else {
}
}
return count;
}
}
countAbc("Test");

opaque peak
why is there a public int actually? xD
dense dock
SO basically you're doing java in javascript XD
opaque peak
is that valid js?
dense dock
Not it's not, as far as I know, XD
opaque peak
but he doesnt have error on the website so maybe he just confused the 2 names xD
dense dock
;compile
class Example {
public int countAbc(String str) {
if(str.length < 3) {
return 0;
} else {
count = 0;
for(let i = 0; i <= str.length - 3; i++) {
if ((str.substring(i, i+2) == "abc") || (str.substring(i, i+2) == "aba")) { // 2
count++;
} else {
}
}
return count;
}
}
}
So that's the issue
OP asked for JavaScript where in fact they're doing JAVA
XD
And the issue is in the if
opaque peak
;compile
public class Test{
public static int countAbc(String str) {
if(str.length < 3) {
return 0;
} else {
count = 0;
for(let i = 0; i <= str.length - 3; i++) {
if ((str.substring(i, i+2) == "abc") || (str.substring(i, i+2) == "aba")) { // 2
count++;
} else {
}
}
return count;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args){
countAbc("Test");
}
}
There's a lot more logic error
dense dock
The question before going further would be @novel yacht is your goal to write this in Java or JavaScript*. Those are 2 distinct and unrelated languages
Because this code is a nice mixt of java and javascript which will cause a lot of errors

I see that's funny
so basically the specification for the curriculum is javascript but the college gave a task in java
and I just checked the website does indeed want java
so let's go with java
dense dock
;compile
class Example {
public static int countAbc(String str) {
int count = 0;
if(str.length() < 3) {
return 0;
} else {
count = 0;
for(int i = 0; i <= str.length() - 3; i++) {
if ((str.substring(i, i+2) == "abc") || (str.substring(i, i+2) == "aba")) { // 2
count++;
} else {
}
}
return count;
}
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println(countAbc("Hello"));
}
}
although all the syntax was intended to be in javascript and the public int was automatically there

Javascript doesn't have type definition like that.
Be sure what language to use and try again XD
