ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Throws "Syntax error" on the last line (end)... now, i'm not thinking there's something wrong with my spelling of the word end, but i cant seem to locate where this error IS occuring!
I think the error is on the last line; it doesn't seem like that "end" matches anything above it. Before that all of your functions, conditionals, and loops have all been finished, so there shouldn't be an "end" on the last line.
