I keep getting weird errors when I run the program "house". I'm trying to make the turtle build a simple house. That is all. But after I tweaked and added code to it for the 2nd layer (1st layer went fine), it gives me an error in line 47. It expects an "=". I tried doing all sorts of things to the line, adding "=" or extra "end"s. Can some one point out the missing block of code that gives the error? Here is the entire code:

for n=1,5 do
 turtle.back()
 turtle.place()
end
turtle.turnLeft()
for n=1,5 do
 turtle.back()
 turtle.place()
end
turtle.turnLeft()
for n=1,5 do
 turtle.back()
 turtle.place()
end
turtle.turnLeft()
for n=1,4 do
 turtle.back()
 turtle.place()
end
turtle.up()
turtle.placeDown()
turtle.back()
turtle.turnLeft()
for n=1,3 do
 for m=1,2 do
  turtle.back()
  turtle.place()
 end
 turtle.select(2)
 for m=1,2 do
 turtle.back()
 turtle.place()
 end
 turtle.select(1)
 turtle.back()
 turtle.place()
 turtle.turnLeft()
end
for n=1,2 do
 turtle.select(1)
 turtle.back()
 turtle.place()
end
 turtle.select(2)
for n=1,2 do
 turtle.back
 turtle.place()
end
turtle.up()
turtle.select(1)
turtle.placeDown()
turtle.back
turtle.turnLeft()
for n=1,5 do
turtle.back()
turtle.place
end
turtle.turnLeft()
end

"turtle.back" should be "turtle.back()", "turtle.place" should be "turtle.place()"
the "end" at the end didn't end anything…
Here's the modified program (i also fixed it not building the third layer completely) :

Spoiler


for n=1,5 do
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
end
turtle.turnLeft()
for n=1,5 do
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
end
turtle.turnLeft()
for n=1,5 do
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
end
turtle.turnLeft()
for n=1,4 do
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
end
turtle.up()
turtle.placeDown()
turtle.back()
turtle.turnLeft()
for n=1,3 do
for m=1,2 do
  turtle.back()
  turtle.place()
end
turtle.select(2)
for m=1,2 do
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
end
turtle.select(1)
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
turtle.turnLeft()
end
for n=1,2 do
turtle.select(1)
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
end
turtle.select(2)
for n=1,2 do
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
end
turtle.up()
turtle.select(1)
turtle.placeDown()
turtle.back()
turtle.turnLeft()
for m=1,4 do
for n=1,5 do
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
end
turtle.turnLeft()
end
turtle.up()
turtle.placeDown()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.forward()

It builds a house that looks like this:

[=] = slot 1, [o] = slot 2
[=][=][=][=][=][=]
[=][=][o][o][=][=]
[=][=][=][=][=][=]

Thanks guys for your help!
