function n()

is no real function you have to at least put an end there. All the code between the headline of the function (function n()) and the end will be executed when calling the function

WHANKS THAT HELPED

You're welcome. By the way it's the same for all loops and if constructions.

Little more in-depth:

A function has a start and a end (same for a loop).

function MyFunction() –Start
end –End

Here's some simple loops

while true do –Won't end until told to (reason why it can freeze things)
sleep(1) –while true do will freeze your ComputerCraft Computer/turtle if it does not have a wait
end

repeat –This loop doesn't end until it reaches a certain point
sleep(5)
print("Hello World!")
until 1==2 –I have made the loop to end if 1 is equal to 2.. which will never happen so the loop is limitless

NUMBER = 2 – Our number
for i=1,NUMBER do –This loop will count up until it reaches our number then will stop.
end
