    What is the compiler telling you? What results are you getting when you try to run the program?

    I can see you have some missing curly braces at the end of your code. This is possibly a copy/paste error, though I can't tell without knowing what the compiler is telling you.

    	{
    		if(length > 2)

    I can't clearly make out what the assignment is based off of the image you posted, but it looks like you're missing all the spaces.
