Getting error after succesful complilation and upload.

Hello Great Minds,

I am new to arduinos, I got this code online and it was running well, but today all of a sudden it started giving error and refused to complile. Please help........

This is the error code............

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.

This code is currently running ok on the board.

If it compiled before are you sure you have not inadvertently made a change.

You should post your code, make sure you enclose it in the </> tags.

Try closing all Arduino IDE windows and then restart the Arduino IDE. This will clear the cache and hopefully solve the problem.

Please always do a Tools > Auto Format on your code before posting it. This will make it easier for you to spot bugs and make it easier for us to read. If you're using the Arduino Web Editor you will not have access to this useful tool. I recommend you to use the standard IDE instead.

Sorry about that, I was unaware of that tool....

It's super handy. It is a really good troubleshooting tool. If you're ever having a problem, do an auto format and then look over your code to see if the automatic formatting matches your expected program structure. You can use the Ctrl + T shortcut key to make it even easier to do an Auto Format.

Got the solution.......

It's not the code but the windows 10 OS which is actually preventing the code from compiling. The same code has no problem in compiling on windows 7 pc.

Solution...

Just need to run IDE in compatibility mode for windows 7, and things would work fine.

Thanks
