Hi Chase,

Well, your code is correct, except the code for Task 3 seems to have been deleted?

When working in code challenges, unless explicitly told otherwise by the Task's instructions, all subsequent code for tasks must be added to what you have inputed from previous tasks.

So, just put back in the code from Task 3, and add the code for Task 4 under the previous code, and it will all pass.

Keep Coding! :)

Thx. I finally got passed it. I'm very unfamiliar with workspace. I've been practicing in NetBeans and eclipse for 6 months or so.
