Tonight am I attempting to learn VBA and using a tutorial from jlathamsite.com.

It was all going well until I had to type up my first programme (module).

The below code is producing an error which says "Expected: end of statement" and is highlighting raiseToPower as the location.


MsgBox theNumber & " raised to the power of " raiseToPower & " = " theResult


If it helps theNumber and raiseToPower are both Dim and are Integers.

Thanks,

Hat

You omitted an ampersand after the second quote mark. So the compiler thinks it should stop at that second quote mark, but since you have stuff on the line after that, which is not a comment, the error message is produced.

MsgBox theNumber & " raised to the power of " & raiseToPower & " = " & theResult

You forgot the ampersand before theResult.

(I'm assuming in the original this was all on one line.)
