    You’re missing a mathematical sign such as +, -, *, /.

    You probably want 6/(2*(1+2)) or (6/2)*(1+2).

    If you leave the sign out, C interprets it as a function call just like usual functions printf("stuff") (indicated via opening parentheses without mathematical operator). So it thinks 2(1+2) calls the function 2 with argument 1+2.
