Treehouse TeacherHi there! To be clear, you are not getting errors, you are are getting warnings. There's a difference here. And the warning is saying exactly what it means. You've declared a variable named tower but haven't used it. If you take a look at 3:29 of the video linked to this challenge, you'll see that the line with tower is not present. Now, this might happen in a later video, but as of right now, it is not used.
Again, this is just a warning. It's just letting you know that you've declared a variable you haven't actually used. But that doesn't mean you won't use it later
Hope this helps!
