I'm a beginner learning from youtube. I followed the tutorial code exactly but got this error.

error CS1002: ; expected

my code:

C#

if(!Camera.main)
{
    Debug.Log("Unable to find main camera");
    return;
}

It says the error is at the period between the camera and the main. I don't know how to resolve

What I have tried:

-removing the ".main" portion
-place semicolons after the statement

There is not enough code here to see why. It could be missing earlier in the method to cause the error.

If you share the entire code, probably it would be easier to share. Right now, somwehere you are missing a semicolon.

We can't tell - it's likely to be something just above the code fragment you show that is causing the error, and we can't see that. This may help: How to Write Code to Solve a Problem, A Beginner's Guide Part 2: Syntax Errors[^]

[edit]
BTW: do yourself a favour and don't learn how to code from YouTube: I'm sure there are good tutorials out there, but most are created by people who don;t know how to teach, don't know how to make a video, and often don't know how to code either. Remember that Youtube is about money: likes and subscribes are currency!

Go on a course, or get a book - Adison Wesley, Wrox, and MS Press all do good ones - and follow it from start to finish doing all the exercises. You will get a much better result than watching youtube!
