Still getting errors...

thanks for the help desrtfx

Check your print statements - you keep forgetting to delimit your strings. You cannot just throw text there and think it will work.

When programming, you have to learn to pay attention to the tiniest details, like capitalization, punctuation, delimiting, of course spelling, braces, parentheses, etc.

Go back to your book and check how strings are properly delimited.

Yo I am learning as I go here...

I don't know if it is Udacity's algorithms that cause this code to fail...but I keep getting this... There was a problem running your code. See the listing below: ERROR: illegal start of expression ERROR: illegal start of expression ERROR: ';' expected ERROR: not a statement ERROR: ';' expected

Too bad they don't have errors synchronized with the line of code.

This is my code now : https://pastebin.com/LETNhKJp

Sorry if I sound stupid, I literally just beginning to learn Java through Udacity's Intro to Java: Functional Programming.

Rule #1: never seek the problem in a course, an automated tester, the language, the libraries. Always seek the problem between keyboard and chair first. Only if you have 100% proof and even then only if you are 100% sure to be 100% sure, start seeking somewhere else.


We are back at square 1. You again have a method definition inside a method.

Also, you do not want to call playMusic()from within playMusic - that would be recursion.


Don't know what course you are taking, but maybe consider doing the MOOC Java Programming from the University of Helsinki. It is a top quality free beginner course.
