Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier on openprocessing with processing.js

Question

The code in question is this:

void update() {
  int nearbyYou = 0;
  int nearbyWork = 0;
  int nearbyCap = 0;
  int nearbyDead = 0;
  for (int iter = 0; iter < 8; iter = iter + 1) {
    switch nearby[iter] {
      case 0:
        nearbyDead++;
      case 1:
        nearbyYou++;
      case 2:
        nearbyWork++;
      case 3:
        nearbyCap++;
    }
    switch type {
      case 0:
        if (nearbyWork >= 1) {
          type = 1;
        } else {
          type = 0;
        }
      case 1:
        if (nearbyWork >= 1) {
          type = 2;
        } else if (nearbyWork >= 7 || nearbyCap >= 2) {
          type = 3;
        } else {
          type = 0;
        }
      case 2:
        type = 0;
    }
  }
}
}

And I get an Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier in the processing file

I've tried a couple things here and there but I really don't know how to adress this error.

the line 885 code is from the processing.js itself, nothing to do with me. And yes, I commented the whole void update() to see if other int x worked and yes they did — OWLSOUL

See https://preview.openprocessing.org/sketch/preview/?random=0.24172648490425175, line 49 so your error should be ocurring on line 49 — Brandon Dyer

The example is not complete and verifiable. What is the last } for? — Rabbid76

This probably isn't the solution to your problem, but switch statements' cases need to break. See prosssesing-js::switch — Brandon Dyer

i don't know about processingJS. but i quick search proved int is a valid keyword. try switch with paranthesis. eg: switch (type) { ... }.

Also you are referencing nearby[index] but can't see an array nearby in your code also the variable type, which can only be safely assume both are available within the scope(or are they?).

Also, if you look at the error on the console, you can probably see the line number where the error has been generated.

please always ask with all the necessary code.
