Syntax Errors

Pipe operator missing function call

Matches: pipe operator requires a function call

WHAT THIS ERROR MEANS

The pipe operator (|> or %>%) expects a function call on the right side, but found something else like a bare name or expression.

1. Make sure the right side of the pipe is a function call with ().

2. For the base pipe |>, you cannot use . placeholders — use \(x) instead.

3. Check for line breaks splitting the pipe expression.

BAD — THIS CAUSES THE ERROR

x |> mean  # missing parentheses

GOOD — CORRECT APPROACH

x |> mean()
