Unqualified-d before else

[theflameartistcodes]

I have an unqualified-id before else, and I don't know how to solve it.

int buttonPin = 2;  // set variables for component pins
int redLED = 4;
int buttonPress;  // declare variable for the button state
char answer;

void setup() {
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(redLED, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  buttonPress = digitalRead(buttonPin);  // set variable to button pin reading
  if (buttonPress == HIGH) {             // if button is pressed, turn LED on
    answer = shouldItlight();
      if (answer == 'Y') {
        digitalWrite(redLED, HIGH);
      } else if (answer == 'N') {
        digitalWrite(redLED, LOW);  // otherwise, LED is off
      }
    }
  }
else if(buttonPress == LOW) {
    digitalWrite(redLED, LOW);
  }
  char shouldItlight() {
    char yesorno;
    Serial.println(" press y to light the button.");
    while (!Serial.available()) {}
    yesorno = Serial.read();

    return yesorno;  //returns a character
  }

Count the number of brackets. Add 1 when you see a {, and remove 1 when you see a }. The count should be 0 where it is expected to be 0.

If you indent your code correctly, you will immediately see the problem.
