230,688 PointsThe Preview
button can be helpful as it shows the compiler error messages.
In this case, the string on line 7 isn't closed (there's no quote mark at the end). The fact that it displays above in magenta instead of yellow is another clue.
Also, the Boolean value no
never gets a value. You probably want to set it using the result of comparing the response
to a specific string.
