help me with my final year project. i cant compile my project because im stuck with with this problem in line 90. im a beginner so please i would like you to help me

this is the code:

#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 20, 4); // pins for LCD Connection

#define buzzer 12 // buzzer pin
#define led 13 //led pin

#define x A0 // x_out pin of Accelerometer
#define y A1 // y_out pin of Accelerometer
#define z A2 // z_out pin of Accelerometer

/variables/
int piezoPin = 7;
int LED1 = 13;
int LED2 = 12;
int LED3 = 11;
int xsample = 0;
int ysample = 0;
int zsample = 0;
long start;
int buz = 0;

/Macros/
#define samples 50
#define fiveMax 20 // max change limit
#define fiveMin -20 // min change limit
#define threeMax 10
#define threeMin -10
#define twoMax 5
#define twoMin -5
#define buzTime 5000 // buzzer on time

void setup()
{
lcd.init();
lcd.init();
Serial.begin(9600); // initializing serial
delay(1000);
lcd.backlight();
lcd.setCursor(3, 0);
lcd.print("Home-based");

lcd.print("Quake Detector");
delay(2000);
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("Calibrating.....");
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("Please wait...");
pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED3, OUTPUT);
buz = 0;
digitalWrite(buzzer, buz);
digitalWrite(led, buz);
for (int i = 0; i < samples; i++) // taking samples for calibration
{
xsample += analogRead(0);
ysample += analogRead(1);
zsample += analogRead(2);
}

xsample /= samples; // taking avg for x
ysample /= samples; // taking avg for y
zsample /= samples; // taking avg for z

delay(3000);
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("Calibrated");
delay(1000);
lcd.clear();

}

{
{
if (buz == 0)
start = millis(); // timer start
buz = 1; // buzzer / led flag activated
}

else if (buz == 1) // buzzer flag activated then alerting earthquake
{

}

lcd.print("Evacuate!!");
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("Drop Cover Hold");

if (millis() >= start + buzTime)
buz = 0;
}
}
}

digitalWrite(buzzer, buz); // buzzer on and off command
digitalWrite(led, buz); // led on and off command

/sending values to processing for plot over the graph/
Serial.print("x=");
Serial.println(xValue);
Serial.print("y=");
Serial.println(yValue);
Serial.print("z=");
Serial.println(zValue);

When you encounter an error you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages" (or the icon that looks like two pieces of paper in the Arduino Web Editor). Click that button. Paste the error in a message here USING CODE TAGS (</> button on the forum toolbar). If the text exceeds the forum's 9000 character limit, save it to a text file and post it as an attachment. If you click the "Reply" button here, you will see an "Attachments and other settings" link.

Please use code tags (</> button on the toolbar) when you post code or warning/error messages, not quote tags. The reason is the forum software can interpret parts of your code as markup, leading to confusion, wasted time, and a reduced chance for you to get help with your problem. This will also make it easier to read your code and to copy it to the IDE or editor. If your browser doesn't show the posting toolbar, then you can manually add the code tags:
[code]``[color=blue]// your code is here[/color]``[/code]
Using code tags and other important information is explained in the How to use this forum post. Please read it.

Why is the code beginning at line 90 even there?

You define a procedure starting on line 79 with "void loop()", followed by an opening brace on line 80. On line 88, you Close out the Loop function entirely. (Without ever having done anything except defining variables which cannot ever be used because they only exist within the realm of the Loop function which terminates on line 88.)

My assumption would be that you Need to remove the closing brace on line 88 (so that the Loop function continues on...) and also remove the opening brace on line 90.

That won't get you far because you also construct your if else Statements incorrect (for example on lines 102 through 110).

Read up a bit on how to properly use the opening and closing braces.
