Expected ']' and Extraneous ']' before ':' [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

IOS Weird compiler error: "expected ']' before ;' using set-ter for NSString constant in singleton (1 answer)

Closed 8 years ago.

I am trying to write this code:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] 
        postNotificationName:EVENT_TIME_OVER object:nil];
                                            ^          ^

EVENT_TIME_OVER is defined in a Constants.h file like so:

#define EVENT_TIME_OVER @"event.TIME_OVER";

Why would I get the errors: Expected ']' and Extraneous ']' before ';' where the ^ mark above? I have used similar code before in other apps, but this time it will not compile because of these errors.

Replace this

#define EVENT_TIME_OVER @"event.TIME_OVER";

with

#define EVENT_TIME_OVER @"event.TIME_OVER"
