Please follow the advice given in the link below when posting code, in particular the section entitled 'Posting code and common code problems'
Use code tags (the </> icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy for examination
Use the IDE autoformat tool (ctrl-t or Tools, Auto format) before posting code in code tags.
Please include the entire error message. It is easy to do. There is a button (lower right of the IDE window) called "copy error message". Copy the error and paste into a post in code tags. Paraphrasing the error message leaves out important information.
Please post a schematic.
Please post an image of your project.
Please describe the problem better then you just did.
please edit your post, select the code part and press the </> icon in the tool bar to mark it as code. It's barely readable as it stands. (also make sure you indented the code in the IDE before copying, that's done by pressing ctrlT on a PC or cmdT on a Mac)
Let me try again, I'm trying to help my nephew with a project and he wants to have an LCD show a few words when his project gets to close to an obstacal. Here is the code with three functions- danger,threatend, and safe. I am sure it is formatting in the code but not sure what is missing or needs to be changed.
/ /*Make a code that has 3 functions of Safe, Threatened, and in danger
* The 3 functions must all do something different
*/

int danger;

I doubt that your nephew was just thrown into the class yesterday. He/she is probably able to correct many of the errors in the sketch (that were deliberately placed there by the instructor). I strongly suggest that you allow him/her to make an attempt at fixing it up first. Then re-post it, along with any issues or problems that he/she experiences with the updated sketch.
Otherwise you are letting the student retrograde to the first class/exercise. That is not the way to help someone.
Why did you get the impression that I don't want to help? I just don't want to help someone cheat.
From what you say, I would guess that it is far too late in the course to really help your nephew much. Those errors would have been dealt with and overcome in the first few elementary lessons. What happened?
Man you guys are just brutal, I just wanted help with syntax, if it does what he wants fine if not fine. If you don't want to help just move on. The project he is working on is not due for 3 months I was just hoping I could help him out. Have a good day sir.
3 months is a long enough time for a student to independently catch up with a project like this. I always like to see a student progress. Typically, the best way for that to happen is by following the course materials and instruction at the pace it's offered, and doing independent research of any topics that can support that.
These are all things that your nephew can and should do. It's far too early to swoop in and "help" by finding internet helpers to fix his code. It will be counterproductive because then he will not have the experience of fixing it himself.
If that sounds brutal to you, understand that I personally consider what would be the most effective course of action for a student to take. There are a lot of ways a knowledgeable person can contribute to someone's education, but completing assignments for them, is not one.
However to comply with your request to move on, I will block your posts so I don't see them any more.
