Problems with get_the_author_meta()

Hello! I get an "unexpected function" for get_the_author_meta().

The line of code is exactly like this:

 <?php get_avatar( get_the_autor_meta( 'ID' ), 24 ); ?>

What's wrong?

Thanks in advance!

In your original post, get_the_autor_meta( 'ID' ) has a typo. It should be get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )

I used example from the Function Reference and it worked: 

<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ), 32 ); ?>
