When you see "Error on line 50", why don't you check your 50'th line ?

Well, I'm sorry, I see why you weren't able to find the error. It is not the 50 but the 46 which is bad :
if distance = > 0 then

More like

@Ninetainedo your string was correct
but now i have new error it goes through my function dig() until the end once it mines like 4 blocks it says
:41: attempt to perform arithmetic __ and on nil and number
line 41 is distance = distance + 1
local args = {...}
local times = tonumber(args[1]) -- this is how many times we want
for i=1, times do
distance=distance
function empty()
if turtle.getItemCount(16) > 15 then
turtle.digUp()
turtle.placeUp(1)
for i=1,16 do
turtle.dropUp(i)
turtle.select(1)
end -- ending the for
turtle.digUp()
end -- ending the if
end
function dig()
turtle.select(1)
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.digUp()
turtle.up()

turtle.up()
turtle.turnLeft()

turtle.turnRight()
turtle.digDown()
turtle.down()
distance = distance + 1 --this is line 41
end
function turn()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.turnLeft()
end
function home()
if distance >= 0 then
turtle.forward()
distance = distance - 1 --if 41 had an error I think this will 2
end
end
dig()
empty()
end
turn()
home()
end

Your fourth line is this one. You should do something like
distance = 0
Do you see why ?

Okay now my turtle isnt come back all the way it just turn around then goes forward once. I dont think its adding or subtracting from distance
local args = {...}
local times = tonumber(args[1]) -- this is how many times we want
for i=1, times do
distance = 0
function empty()
if turtle.getItemCount(16) > 15 then
turtle.digUp()
turtle.placeUp(1)
for i=1,16 do
turtle.dropUp(i)
turtle.select(1)
end -- ending the for
turtle.digUp()
end -- ending the if
end
function dig()
turtle.select(1)
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.digUp()
turtle.up()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.digDown()
turtle.down()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.digUp()
turtle.up()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.digDown()
turtle.down()
distance = distance + 2
end
function turn()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.turnLeft()
end
function home()
if distance >= 0 then
turtle.forward()
distance = distance - 1
else print ("im home")
end
end
dig()
empty()
end
turn()
home()

I think you shouldn't reset your distance variable in loop. Declare it before the "for" statement !

Um could you explain it a little further?

Well :
for i = 1, times do
Declares a loop. Everything under this (until the "end" corresponding to the "for") will be executed each time we enter in the loop.
If you write
distance = 0
In your loop, it will be reset to 0 each time !
I think this is not what you want ! ;)/>

So all i have to do is put distance = 0 above my for i = 1, times do

No I just tried it that didnt work im so lost I dont get why this is doing this
Current code :
local args = {...}
local times = tonumber(args[1]) -- this is how many times we want
distance = 0
for i=1, times do
function empty()
if turtle.getItemCount(16) > 15 then
turtle.digUp()
turtle.placeUp(1)
for i=1,16 do
turtle.dropUp(i)
turtle.select(1)
end -- ending the for
turtle.digUp()
end -- ending the if
end
function dig()
turtle.select(1)
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.digUp()
turtle.up()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.digDown()
turtle.down()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.digUp()
turtle.up()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.digDown()
turtle.down()
distance = distance + 2
end
function turn()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.turnLeft()
end
function home()
if distance >= 0 then
turtle.forward()
distance = distance - 1
else print ("im home")
end
end
dig()
empty()
end
turn()
home()

The function 'empty' will never work being in a loop. You are changing everything in it before you call it.. Put your for loop in the empty function and try that.
Here:
function empty()
for i=1, times do
if turtle.getItemCount(16) > 15 then
turtle.digUp()
turtle.placeUp(1)
for i=1,16 do
turtle.dropUp(i)
turtle.select(1)
end -- ending the for
turtle.digUp()
end -- ending the if
end -- ending your for
end

You lost me so you want me to put my loop after I call the empty function?

Read above, I posted code for you to enthral yourself in.
EDIT: I can't really read the unindented code so I am not fully aware of where you are ending each block (if's, functions, etc)

Mhmm, does your Empty function continue on? Or does it stop there? I can't tell.
