Chris Freeman
Treehouse Moderator 67,987 PointsThis issue is in Line 11, where you redefine line
to 0
, just before the return
int line = 0;
return line;
The int line = 0;
needs to be moved before the if
statement. Be careful to watch for the error "variable line is already defined in method
" caused by redefining int line
.
