SyntaxError: missing ; before statement

I am getting this error :

SyntaxError: missing ; before statement

Why would I get that from this code? How can I get around this ?

var $this = $("input");
开发者_JAVA百科foob_name = $this.attr('name').replace(/\[(\d+)\]/, function($0, $1) {
   return '[' + (+$1 + 1) + ']';
}));

Looks like you have an extra parenthesis.

The following portion is parsed as an assignment so the interpreter/compiler will look for a semi-colon or attempt to insert one if certain conditions are met.

foob_name = $this.attr('name').replace(/\[(\d+)\]/, function($0, $1) {
   return '[' + (+$1 + 1) + ']';
})

too many ) parenthesis remove one of them.

Or you might have something like this (redeclaring a variable):

var data = [];
var data = 

I got this error, hope this will help someone:

const firstName = 'Joe';
const lastName = 'Blogs';
const wholeName = firstName + ' ' lastName + '.';

The problem was that I was missing a plus (+) between the empty space and lastName. This is a super simplified example: I was concatenating about 9 different parts so it was hard to spot the error.

Summa summarum: if you get "SyntaxError: missing ; before statement", don't look at what is wrong with the the semicolon (;) symbols in your code, look for an error in syntax on that line.
