Courses Plus Student 1,850 Pointswow thanks for all your time..please if you dont mind keep helping..Ill make sure im saving before compiling and the obvious misspellings..but i know it was giving me errors back for semicolons that were there and it just didnt make sense..Ill definitely post the code and link the screenshot but it seems that the screen shot doesnt get the console in the link just the terminal..
