Right here. Following your indentation the for loop above should have finished, since
the while loop starts
unindented. Yet I see no closing brace.
At this point, it becomes impossible, or more painful than it is worth, to try to
follow the flow of
execution. I would suggest that changing your standard indent to something more
modest like four spaces would
allow you to keep your indents properly nested.without drifting off-screen to the
right.
Particularly when you are dealing with looping issues, it is vital to get the
formatting on your side. The
compiler doesn't care, it ignores whitespace. It does make a great deal of difference
in human comprehension.
