'Statement missing' error in C++

[Varad Mahajan]

While I was making a programme in C++ for Calculating area of the square a compiling error was found as - statement missing.

Check all your braces are matched.
Check for missing semi-colon.
If you use a struct check it ends with a semi-colon.

BTW: It helps if you post your code.

its the program to calucalte area of square

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
 
void main()
{
       int side,area;
       printf("Enter side of Square");
       scanf("%d",&side");
       area=side*side;
       printf(" \n Area of Square is : %d sq units",area);
       getch();
}

The OP said she/he was writing code in C++ so its not particularly helpful to provide complete C code for the task.
(in fact this forum frowns on the practice of providing complete coding solutions because of adverse learning benefit to the OP)
Also a statement by definition ends with a semicolon (;) so as weaknessforcats suggests its absence is one likely cause.
