Treehouse Project ReviewerYea that happens when posting here. So, it is possible that you may have, at separate times, used tab to indent and space to indent. This, in my experience, causes this error. Unfortunately, it is a pain. Highlight all of your code in your workspace, and click 'ctrl+]' until all of your code is left aligned, then you're going to re-indent ONLY using either space or tab. Tab is more convenient.

Treehouse Project ReviewerCould you delete your code post, and re-post with proper markdown? This is not legible. Post this way:

7,470 PointsSorry I am not sure how to post my code with the proper markdown is there a way to do it?

Treehouse Project ReviewerOoop...ha sorry. I wrote the instructions but the markdown formatted my post.
If you go to the bottom of the box where you are typing, you'll see a markdown cheatsheet link. Click it.

7,470 PointsNote: Some of the IF statements look incorrectly indented however in the actual cod efile they are fine.

Treehouse Project Reviewerit's either ctrl+] or ctr+[ it's been a while since i have used workspaces.

Treehouse Project Reviewersorry for all the quick responses, but i would start with line 12 first and see if that is the only indentation problem
