Hi I have a problem with my code, could you help me?
What I want it to do is that you press a button once and then the led blinks and repeat this x amount of times and then stop until i press it button again.

Here is the error that i get.
Arduino:1.8.19 (Windows 10), Kort:"Arduino Uno"

y:12:13: error: expected initializer before '}' token

void loop() }

         ^

y:12:13: error: expected declaration before '}' token

exit status 1

expected initializer before '}' token

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

const byte buttonPin = 4;
boolean buttonState = LOW;
boolean oldbuttonState = LOW;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {


  buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  if (oldbuttonState != buttonState)
  {
    if (buttonState == HIGH) // button went from off to on
    {
      for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
        digitalWrite(13, HIGH);   // set the LED on
        delay(100);              // wait for a second
        digitalWrite(13, LOW);    // set the LED off
        delay(100);
      }
      oldbuttonState = buttonState;
    }
  }

Did you count the number of { and }? in loop()?

void loop() {


  buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
  if (oldbuttonState != buttonState)
  {
    if (buttonState == HIGH) // button went from off to on
    {
      for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
        digitalWrite(13, HIGH);   // set the LED on
        delay(100);              // wait for a second
        digitalWrite(13, LOW);    // set the LED off
        delay(100);
      }
      oldbuttonState = buttonState;
    }
  }

There are 4 {'s and only 3 }'s. Use autoformat to see the issue.

The closing brace of the loop() function is missing
