i think this:

invert line 32 with line 33 and delete semicolon at end of line 31;
delete line 41 ;

also a brace between those present in the lines 36 or 48 or 51 , it is useless

On line 36 it says - expected a ')' & expected an expression
On line 39 it says - expected an expression underlining the ">"
