<h2 id="What_went_wrong">What went wrong?</h2>

<p>A specific language construct was expected, but something else was provided. This might be a simple typo.</p>

<h2 id="Examples">Examples</h2>

<h3 id="Expression_expected">Expression expected</h3>

<p>For example, when calling functions, trailing commas are not allowed. JavaScript will expect another argument, which can in fact be any expression.</p>

<pre class="brush: js example-bad">
Math.max(2, 42,);
// SyntaxError: expected expression, got ')'
</pre>

<p>Correct would be omitting the comma or adding another argument:</p>

<pre class="brush: js example-good">
Math.max(2, 42);
Math.max(2, 42, 13+37);
</pre>
