Hi there! I received your request for assistance. The problem here is curly braces. They're a bit mis-matched so it's creating syntax errors. Your constructor starts with an open curly brace, but ends with two which means it's closing off the class. Moving the closing curly brace } on line 19 to the end of the file causes the challenge to pass all three steps.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

thanks
