Bootstrap JS via functions.php

After adding the function theme_styles refreshing the site all is well.

After adding the function theme_js I'm getting this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '->' (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/bootstrap-to-wp/wp-content/themes/bootstrap-to-wp/functions.php on line 19.

line 19: $wp_scripts;->add_data( 'html5_shiv', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );

I can't tell what I'm doing wrong.

$wp_scripts -> add_data('html5_shiv', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9');

remove the semicolon after $wp_scripts

Thank you very much, I totally missed that, from cutting and pasting. I need to study PHP.

You're welcome. And don't worry, with a little practice you'll get used to it pretty soon.
