Error Message

Syntax error at line 1 while checking:
  x**2
   ^
Expression expected.

Cause

The expression entered (usually into the Definition attribute, but possibly into the [Check attribute] or [Domain Attribute|domain expression]) is not a valid Analytica expression. In the above example, Analytica has no ** operator, hence the ** is not recognized. Syntax errors might be caused from missing operators (e.g., 4 x instead of 4*x), extra closing parens, unrecognized symbols, etc.
