I'm new to coding and Arduino's altogether. My teacher only skimmed over it in my virtual course, and he isn't responding to his emails. I can't find what's wrong, but I have three error messages. They're all simple so I know it'll be obvious, but again, I've never done this.
I'm just doing a simple thing where there is a green light that will turn on, and when I press a pushbutton the two red LEDs will flash, and then the green one will turn off. Thanks for any help!
In function 'void loop()':
17:2: error: 'else' without a previous 'if'
exit status 1
int switchState = 0;
void setup(){
pinMode(3,OUTPUT);
pinMode(4,OUTPUT);
pinMode(5,OUTPUT);
pinMode(2,INPUT);
}
void loop(){
switchState = digitalRead(2);
if(switchState = LOW)
// the button is not pressed
digitalWrite(3, HIGH); //green LED
digitalWrite(4, LOW); //red LED
digitalWrite(5, LOW); //red LED
else // the button is pressed
digitalWrite(3, LOW);
digitalWrite(4, LOW);
digitalWrite(5, HIGH);
delay(250); // wait for a quarter second
// toggle the LEDs
digitalWrite(4, HIGH);
digitalWrite(5, LOW);
delay(250); // wait for a quarter second
} // go back to the beginning of the loop
