please post the code you are using. Odds are that it is something you have mistyped such as a period etc and that is really hard to diagnose without seeing the code.

Just a wild guess, but did you remember to save your changes with the menu or Ctrl-S shortcut before you refreshed?

Otherwise, please post the code to facilitate analysis. Or even better, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

If posting code directly, be sure to use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or watch this video on code formatting.

Thanks Steven Parker, you were right about remember to press the save button. That's what I was forgetting to do. I'm just a beginner learning. Thanks a lot for the help.

Without seeing the code there's not much help to be had; I'd suggest taking a close once over your code to check for any typos or errors. Let me know if you share the code though, I'm happy to take a look!
