title: Error expected expression before ")" token in C
body: <p>I am trying to write this program to return the denormal values but I am getting an error shown below. Can you anyone help me fix this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>support.c: In function 'is_denormal':
  support.c:50:34: error: expected expression before ')' token
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
  int is_denormal( double x)
  {
  
     union dp_item N1;   
     N1.drep = x;
  
     union dp_item N2;
     N2.drep = x;
  
  
  
     N1.irep = absolute(N1.drep, x*);
     N1.irep = N1.irep &gt;&gt; 52;
     if (N1.irep == 0x0ULL)
     {
  
        N2.irep = N2.irep &lt;&lt; 12;
        if (N2.irep != 0x0ULL)
        {return 1;}
        return 0;
  
     }
     else {return 0;}
  
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the absolute function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>double absolute( double x, double y* )
  {
     union dp_item N;   
     N.drep = x;
  
     N.irep = N.irep &amp; 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFULL;
     return N.drep;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
