    [`new`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/new) is a [keyword](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/keyword) in C++. – Ch3steR Jan 04 '22 at 04:54

    It might be silly for any C++ programmer but someone who is `new` to C++, may struggle with the error message and it was a valid question so there was no need to downvote it. By the way as others suggested, you can simply call it `newV` and the code will compile. – Ashutosh Raghuwanshi Jan 04 '22 at 05:29

    Note that leetcode is a collection of C++ code examples of extremely bad quality maintained by people who have nothing to do with professional programming. Don't use that website to learn C++, prefer a [good introductory book](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list) instead. – Evg Jan 04 '22 at 06:41

new is a keyword. Keywords cannot be used as names of variables.

How to fix it.

Pick another name that isn't a keyword, or otherwise reserved.
