Craig, you seem to be going a bit to fast. I have to keep rewinding the video, while also having to switch to the workspace window to keep up and making sure everything is correct. Slow down bro lol

Just an idea, it helps to have multiple windows open (one with the workspace and another with the video) side-by-side while learning here on Team Treehouse.

Sorry bout that! If you need to slow me down (or speed me up) check out the controls on the video player, you can actually do that!

Hope that helps!

Thank you very much !

Looks like you are missing a final curly bracket }.

Hope it helps!

i have the final curly bracket on the line after the semi colon.

That closes the main function. You want another one to close the TreeStory class.

There are 2 open brackets. One for main method and one for the class.

There should be 2 closing curly brackets.
