Just to add: please try to avoid saying this detail in the future.
It's much more helpful to talk about what you've tried, what parts you
understand, and what parts you don't understand.  We'd rather you be
clear-headed and interested in learning, so that you can learn to
solve these problems.  For more about this, see:

Spend more effort in describing the the problem solving strategies
you've tried so far.  What kinds of problems you've already solved
that might be similar to the one you're stuck on?  What parts of the
program actually do work as you expect?  And what parts do not?  Do
you have any guesses as to what you're confused about?

A large part of learning to program has nothing to do with syntax: it
has to do with learning strategies for solving problems.


Hope that makes sense!
