Question posted in an unrelated thread.

Hello, i have the same problem but that didn't fix it, sadly.

This is a code for running the time over and over again on a monitor. As far is I know, there is no command to automatically show the time on the monitor so if you could solve that too, it would be great. Anyway, i'm getting the error:

:bios:383: [string "time"]:1: '<name>' expected

Heres the code:

function = T –Line 1 obviously
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
local time = os.time()
time = textutils.formatTime(time, false)
print("The time is "..time)
end

for T = 0, 9999999999999999999 do
function T
sleep(1)
end

Please help.

That's incorrect syntax for defining a function. Also, the second line of that red bit is incorrect for calling the function. Use function T() to start the definition and T() to call it. Look here for an example on correct syntax.

EDIT: You also shouldn't use the same names for both your function and the iterator variable in your for loop. In fact, you don't even need a for loop if the loop runs forever. Just use while true do.

Thank you, I totally forgot how to use functions.
