Hi Aaron:

I’d like to give you the full answer to your challenge, BUT I think you may have an idea of what you are doing, the only thing is that you are making a common mistake on this one. I say common, because in the coding world, placing brackets in the wrong position can drive you crazy and not know what is going on.

Now with that said I will give you a hint of what’s wrong with your code, and this may help you get to your problem. If you still can’t find the problem please let me know so that I can help you further. I try to do it this way, because it helps a lot more to work hard and solve it yourself than to just have someone give you the answers, to your challenges.

Hint: Closing Bracket

Hope it helps, I’d like to know if you did solve it or not.

Whenever you have errors with your code in the treehouse compiler. Try copying the code into a playground and hopefully the compiler will be able to catch the error. if neither of the compilers (Treehouse or Xcode) complain, then try asking your question again on the forum. On the good note, that's some pretty sweet code you have there!
