ERROR while uploading sketch

Using Arduino Programming Questions

Hi, I recently tried this code :point_down:t2: to control a servo with push button. But I get this error. Can someone explain why I get this error.

#include<Servo.h>
int pos = 0;

Servo servo;
void setup() {
  pinMode(2, INPUT);
  pinMode(3, INPUT);
  servo.attach(9);
}
void loop() {
  while (digitalRead(2) == HIGH && pos < 180) {
    pos++;
    servo.write(pos);
    delay(15);
  }
  while (digitalRead(3) == HIGH && pos > 0) {
    pos--;
    servo.write(pos);
    delay(15);
  }
}

Welcome to the forum

You copied the sketch from a Web page that included characters not recognised by the IDE. Posting it here in code tags should have sorted that out

Copy the code back from your post into the IDE and try compiling it again
