I tried re compiling my file to see if I had a syntax error but it was fine. It just doesnt seem to work in the repl.

2,686 PointsAs Nathan said, the issue is the comments. I had the exact same problem, and it was solved when I removed the comments.

Courses Plus Student 1,033 PointsAs Nathan and Anne said, if you have comments you're going to get an error ""ERROR: cannot find symbol" if you have comments in your code.
That's just shoddy coding on Treehouse's part TBH. I have notes because this section is pretty brutal to new coders so losing them isn't cool :)

3,507 PointsI was able to get it working when I removed the comments in my code. For some reason, the repl does not work when there are comments in the code. Any idea why?
