Carbon diffForHumans cant use in laravel 5.5?

first I use Carbon\Carbon; then I try to echo difforhumans reference by doc : https://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/#api-humandiff 

echo Carbon::parse('2019-08-03')->diffForHumans('2019-08-13');

laravel 5.5 said Parse error: syntax error,

UPDATE

I install laravel 5.6 but I downgrade into 5.5

here is my full code 

use Carbon\Carbon;
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        dd(\Carbon\Carbon::parse('2019-08-03')->diffForHumans('2019-08-13'));

    }

The basic way to do it like this:

dd(\Carbon\Carbon::parse('2019-08-03')->diffForHumans());

If you are retrieving a date from the database you can change it to be like this:

dd(\Carbon\Carbon::parse($user->created_at)->diffForHumans());

while user->created_at creates the date you get from tables.

First of all diffForHumans don't take any arguments.If just removing the date from diffForHumans won't work..

Try this:

use Carbon\Carbon;
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        dd(Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d','2019-08-03')->diffForHumans());

    }

Pass NULL in diffForHumans() and use Class Carbon

dd(Carbon::parse('2019-08-03')->diffForHumans());

That is the proper way:

echo \Carbon\Carbon::parse('2019-08-03')->diffForHumans(\Carbon\Carbon::parse('2019-08-13'));

The error you propably got was:

Argument 1 passed to Carbon\Carbon::diffForHumans() must be an instance of Carbon\Carbon, string given

It means that function "parse" needed proper Carbon data format.
