It's a close enough problem; a lot of professors I've known aren't going to sweat the small stuff on paper. Like, they're not plugging your code into a computer and expecting it to build, they're just looking for the algorithm design, and that there's no grotesque violation of the language rules.
Sure, some are going to be a little harder "you missed a simicolon here", but even then, if you're doing your work, that's not a hard thing to overcome, and it's going to cost you a handful of points (if that sort of stuff is your only mistake you get a 92 instead of a 100).
