Is it still doing it? I just had that happen with an apostrophe in a first line c++ //comment, so I put in a \' and it was fine... ...but now it's fine without the \... so maybe they were working on a script/compiler change?

The code you wrote here seems fine, however the error tells me you're likely forgetting a quote somewhere in the actual code of your program. Make sure where you have a " you have another ". (Two quotes)

Copy that, just ran the code in the code Playground. Exacuted perfectly.
