231,271 PointsIt's hard to see without formatting, but it seems that one of the "if" statements is missing a closing parenthesis on the conditional expression. Also, there's an assignment (single "=") in one of the other "if" statements where you probably meant to have a comparison ("==" or "==="). And there's just the opposite (a comparison instead of an assignment) right after that "if". And it may also be that the braces are mismatched (a different number of '{'s and '}'s).
When posting code, use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area.
