ODOT/app/controllers/application_controller.rb:5: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting end-of-input

I get this error when I try to go to Localhost:3000 now:

ODOT/app/controllers/application_controller.rb:5: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting end-of-input

This is the code from there:

sclass ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  # Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
  # For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
  protect_from_forgery with: :exception
end

Thanks, I must have just hit a key by accident and I never noticed because I didn't think I had ever edited that file.

yes, I'm sure, sometimes I accidentally hit a key on my keyboard and add a character somewhere on the code and caused me endless troubles. It's normal, glad that the error message provided here is super helpful.
