#include<Servo.h>

Servo servo1;
Servo servo2;
int serPos = 0;
int servoPos = 0;

void setup() {
servo1.attach(3);
servo2.attach(5);
}

void loop() {
for(servoPos>=0;servoPos<180; servoPos++)(
{
servo1.write(servoPos);
servo2.write(servoPos);
delay(20);
}

); for(servoPos<=180;servoPos> 0; servoPos--)(

servo1.write(servoPos));
servo2.write(servoPos);
delay(20);
}

}

the error i get is:

\sketch_jun29c:28:1: error: expected declaration before '}' token

}

^

exit status 1

expected declaration before '}' token

Next time, use code tags !! Please read How to get the best out of this forum to find out.

Why do you have a ( at the end of the lines starting with for ? Why do you have randomly placed ) in your code? I think that you have been confused about the use of {} and ()

Here is your code indented with the autoformat tool of the IDE and posted in code tags. The extraneous ')' and ';' are removed and the curly brackets fixed. A feature of the IDE is that if you put the cursor to the right of a {, }, ( or ), the cursor will highlight, what the IDE thinks, is its mate. If the IDE can't find a mate nothing will be highlighted. A clue that something doesn't match.

#include<Servo.h>

Servo servo1;
Servo servo2;
int serPos = 0;   // do you need an int for a value that will not exceed 180?
int servoPos = 0;

void setup()
{
   servo1.attach(3);
   servo2.attach(5);
}

void loop()
{
   for (servoPos = 0; servoPos < 180; servoPos++)
   {
      servo1.write(servoPos);
      servo2.write(servoPos);
      delay(20);
   }

   for (servoPos = 180; servoPos > 0; servoPos--)
   {
      servo1.write(servoPos);
      servo2.write(servoPos);
      delay(20);
   }
}
