In the above code the 3rd line bytes calldata _extaData gives the following error:

browser/Coin.sol:4:92: ParserError: Expected ',' but got identifier
function receiveApproval(address _from, uint256 _value, address _token, bytes 
calldata  _extraData) external; 

          ^--------^

Please help me out with the error.

Try compiling your contract with Solidity compiler version 0.5.0 or higher.

The calldata keyword cannot be used like that in versions lower than 0.5.0.

You are getting the Expected , error because the pre-0.5.0 compiler thinks calldata is the name of the function parameter, instead of its memory location.
