These are valid code the compiler understands, but they do not what you, the programmer, intended." Here it doesnt seem like the programmer intended to print the new line character. However, I am not sure if this is the definiton that is usually followed for semantic errors. 0 0 replyShare Please log in or register to add a comment.
0 0 votes It won't print anything as ASCII character for 10.3/10 is newline; so it won't print anything , but go to the next line. I don't think any error is present.
