title: C: error: expected ')' before ';' token
body: <p>This seems like the simplest code, but I don't know why it won't compile:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    switch(choice) {
          case 0:
              printf("%d", LOOP_LIMIT); /* this line gives the error */
              break;
          case 1:
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I comment out the line it compiles fine</p>
