declared and not usedGo

Go: declared and not used: x / "fmt" imported and not used

Go refuses to compile code with unused local variables or unused imports.

was not declared in this scopeC/C++

C++: error: 'x' was not declared in this scope (undeclared identifier)

The compiler met a name it has never seen: it is misspelled, declared later, out of scope, or its header or namespace is missing.

expected primary-expression beforeC/C++

C++: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token

The parser expected a value or expression and found a token that cannot start one — often a type name passed where a value belong…

does not name a typeC/C++

C++: error: 'string' does not name a type

Where the compiler expected a type, it found a name it does not know as one — a missing header, namespace, or class declared late…

need typename before dependent nameC/C++

C++: error: need 'typename' before 'T::iterator' because 'T' is a dependent scope

Inside a template, a name like `T::iterator` could be a type or a value, so C++ requires the `typename` keyword to say it is a ty…

stray in programC/C++

C/C++: error: stray '\342' in program (smart quotes or invisible characters)

The source file contains a character the compiler does not recognise, typically curly quotes or a non-breaking space pasted from…

expected unqualified-id beforeC/C++

C++: error: expected unqualified-id before 'return' / before ')' token

The parser found a token where a name (declaration) was required — often a missing brace, a stray `)`, or a statement placed in a…

Two steps away (14)

TypeError: not a functionJavaScript

TypeError: x is not a function

You called something as a function, but its value is not a function (it’s undefined, a string, an object…).

ImportErrorPython

ImportError: cannot import name 'x' from 'y'

The module was found, but the name you’re importing from it doesn’t exist — usually a version change or a circular import.

not a constructorJavaScript

TypeError: x is not a constructor

new was used with something that isn’t a class/constructor — usually a wrong import.

undefined reference toC/C++

C/C++: undefined reference to `function' — collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The linker can’t find the definition of a function or variable that was declared and used.

not a member of stdC/C++

C++: error: 'optional' in namespace 'std' does not name a template type — wrong -std standard

The standard-library feature you used needs a newer C++ standard than the compiler is currently set to.

implicit declaration of functionC/C++

C: warning: implicit declaration of function 'foo' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

In C you called a function the compiler has not seen declared — usually a missing `#include`. Newer compilers treat it as an erro…

E0308Rust

Rust: error[E0308]: mismatched types — expected `X`, found `Y`

A value’s type doesn’t match what the context expects — common with &str vs String, Option/Result vs plain values, and integer ty…

no matching function for call toC/C++

C++: error: no matching function for call to 'f(int, const char*)'

No overload of the function accepts the arguments you passed — wrong count, wrong types, or a missing conversion.

invalid conversion fromC/C++

C++: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*' [-fpermissive]

C++ forbids silently dropping `const` or converting between unrelated pointer types — typically a string literal assigned to `cha…

incomplete typeC/C++

C++: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'class X' — forward declaration only

You used a class that has only been forward-declared (so its size and members are unknown) where the full definition is required.

call of overloaded is ambiguousC/C++

C++: error: call of overloaded 'f(int)' is ambiguous

Two or more overloads fit equally well, so the compiler refuses to guess which function you meant.

no match for 'operator'C/C++

C++: error: no match for 'operator<<' (operand types are 'std::ostream' and 'X')

You used an operator on a type that does not define it — most often printing your own class with `

template argument deduction/substitution failedC/C++

C++: error: template argument deduction/substitution failed / couldn't deduce template parameter

The compiler could not work out the template arguments from your call — the arguments disagree, the type can't be deduced, or a c…

cannot declare variable to be of abstract typeC/C++

C++: error: cannot declare variable 'x' to be of abstract type 'Shape' (pure virtual functions)

You tried to create an object of a class that still has pure virtual functions; only a derived class that overrides all of them c…
