bios:206: [string "nuke"]:30: '=' expected

Hi I'm trying to make a program that places the block in slot 1 (A nuke), move to the block next to it, place a redstone torch (to set it off), and go back to start. I get the error (stated in title) every time i run it. Can someone tell me whats wrong?

print ("Boom")

easy fix

turtle.forward

should be

turtle.forward()

you forgot the ()

Also, just a tip. if you dont want to write turtle.forward() 20 times you can just use a for loop

for i=1, 20 do
turtle.forward()
end

that will repeat turtle.forward() 20 times

Thanks! Now I can Nuke people with computers :)/>/>

and you dont need to place a torch, you can just output redstone directly by using:

rs.setOutput("front",true)
