I'M having a problem with a code

hi im have a problem with the code
term.setCursorPos(1,1)

It keeps telling me i need an =
it says
'=' expected

so can anyone help me please!

for future reference the "programs" section is for completed programs and their code… this should have been in "Ask a Pro"

in anycase. there is nothing wrong with that instruction. seems like you have something else wrong. please post your code and the exact error message so that we can assist better…

print ("lights on or off")
input = read()
if input ==  "on" then
redstone.setOutput("back", true)
term.clear
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
elseif input == "off" then
redstone.setOutput("back", false)
term.clear
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
else
print ("Not a Valid Answer.")
sleep(3)
term.clear
term.setCursorPos(1,1)

Thats the code
and the error code is bios:337: [string "lights"]:10: '=' expected

the term.clear requires () at the end. that is why it wanted an = sign… it was expecting you to set the term.clear to something, instead of attempting to call it…

Thanks that helps alot
