C++ I'm a complete newbie and I'm not sure what went wrong.

[CodeForumUser333]

int led = 13;
int pushButton = 2;



void setup () {
 
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode{pushButton, INPUT);
    pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
      
}
 
 
void loop () {
 
  int buttonState = digitalRead(pushButton);
  Serial.printIn(buttonState);
  if (buttonState != 1) {
      digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite (led, LOW);
  }
  delay(1);




}

Hi, so these lines of codes are meant for Tinkercad Arduino. As you can see, these lines of codes were meant to start a circuit but I don't understand what went wrong. It indicated me the errors of this script but due to the fact that I am a complete newbie to coding, I just can't seem to understand. Can anyone be of help? Thanks.

Error details:
In function 'void setup()':
11:10: error: expected ';' before '{' token
17:13: error: a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token
31:1: error: expected '}' at end of input exit status 1

I would really appreciate it if someone posts the correct code in the comments.

Hi there,

So it looks like the issue is on line 5, I haven't tested it yet but on line 5 I believe you have a mismatch of brackets, pinMode{pushButton, INPUT); should be pinMode(pushButton, INPUT);.

[CODE lang="cpp" highlight="5"]int led = 13;
int pushButton = 2;
void setup () {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode{pushButton, INPUT);
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}
void loop () {
int buttonState = digitalRead(pushButton);
Serial.printIn(buttonState);
if (buttonState != 1) {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
} else {
digitalWrite (led, LOW);
}
delay(1);
}[/CODE]

And also change printIn to println, else you will get HardwreSerial error. Try this -

int led = 13;
int pushButton = 2;

void setup () {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(pushButton, INPUT);
  pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}

void loop () {
  int buttonState = digitalRead(pushButton);
  Serial.println(buttonState);
  if (buttonState != 1) {
    digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(led, LOW);
  }
  delay(1);
}
