I updated my code in the original post.

Err... you shouldn't do that. It kind of kills the context for all the answers that you get. These nodes stick around. Say someone finds your question a year from now and starts looking at the replies and they don't match the code in your post? All it'll do is confuse them.

You can always post new code in a reply. Or just post another question. But before you do, how about not being so quick to give up on figuring it out yourself? You won't really learn anything by continually asking how to fix this or that and just sort of pasting the solutions in. Take a few hours to try to learn at least the basics of the language you are using.

Is this your first attempt at programming altogether?
