Syntax Error

What This Error Means

This error occurs when the JavaScript interpreter encounters a syntax that is not valid in the current JavaScript version. In this case, the error is caused by using a JavaScript feature that is not supported in the version of the interpreter.

Why It Happens

The error occurs because the code is trying to use a newer JavaScript feature, such as import statements, that is not supported in the current JavaScript version. This can happen when the code is run in an older browser or environment that does not support the latest JavaScript features.

How to Fix It

1. 1To fix this error, you can use one of the following solutions:
2. 21. Update the JavaScript version in your environment to the latest version that supports the import statement.
3. 32. Use a transpiler like Babel to convert the code to an older version of JavaScript that does not use the import statement.
4. 43. Use a module loader like Webpack or Rollup to load the module dynamically and avoid using the import statement.

Example Code Solution

import { add } from './math.js';

const math = require('./math.js');
const add = math.add;
