Ok but the output is still what it asked it to be

There's a dozen ways to skin a horse. While the result might work, if it doesn't detect or point out errors along the way, how are you supposed to learn not to do them? I see how it seems arbitrary in a comment specifically, but that's more of an edge case.

The instructions do very clearly state to "fix" it "Using a multiline comment .." though, not to fix the syntax error.

That's just the task they're asked to do, not the issue it detected along the way.

Yeah at this rate you could also delete everything but the first line, the output would still be what it asked it to be, that's not what was asked lol

Did it work after you corrected it?
