Need help with turtle program asap.

So i got into turtle programming a few days ago and i cant figure out what is wrong with my code.
I want the code to harvest and replant crops for me in a 12*7 area.
The error message i am geting is: Bios:338: [string "harvestL"]:2: '=' expected.
now i know when you get that error message you should look at that line and the line above more carefully and i did for 30 minutes and i am clueless to what is wrong with it so please help.
this is my code :

function = strip(length)
  for i=1, length, 1 do
  turtle.digDown()
  turtle.suckDown()
  turtle.placeDown()
  turtle.forward()
  end
end

function turnRight()
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.forward
  turtle.digDown()
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.placeDown()
end
function turnLeft()
  turtle.turnLeft()
  turtle.forward
  turtle.digDown()
  turtle.turnLeft()
  turtle.placeDown()
  end
function resPos(length)
  turtle.turnRight()
  for i=1, length, 1 do
   turtle.forward()
  end
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.dropUp()
end   strip(12)
  turnRight()
	strip(12)
   turnLeft()
	 strip(12)
	turnRight()
	  strip(12)
	 turnLeft()
	   strip(12)
	  turnRight()
		strip(12)
	   turnLeft()
	  strip(12)
	  resPos(12)

That "=" in line 1 of your program is unnecessary - remove it. Other than that this code is fine.
It'd then look like this ( code is a bit neatened up ):

Spoiler

function strip(length)
  for i=1, length, 1 do
	turtle.digDown()
	turtle.suckDown()
	turtle.placeDown()
	turtle.forward()
  end
end

function turnRight()
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.forward()
  turtle.digDown()
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.placeDown()
end

function turnLeft()
  turtle.turnLeft()
  turtle.forward
  turtle.digDown()
  turtle.turnLeft()
  turtle.placeDown()
end

function resPos(length)
  turtle.turnRight()
  for i=1, length, 1 do
	turtle.forward()
  end
  turtle.turnRight()
  turtle.dropUp()
end

strip(12)
turnRight()
strip(12)
turnLeft()
strip(12)
turnRight()
strip(12)
turnLeft()
strip(12)
turnRight()
strip(12)
turnLeft()
strip(12)
resPos(12)

Also the brackets were missing in line 12.

Thanks so much i got it working now :D/>
