I wrote a simple program for a sugarcane farm, and when I run it, it instantly returns an error from line 11 saying.

bios:339: [string "sugar"]:11: '=' expected

This is the program code:

while true do
	for a=1,9 do
		turtle.dig()
		turtle.forward()
	end
	for b=1,1 do
		turtle.turnRight()
		turtle.dig()
		turtle.forward()
		turtle.turnRight()
	end
	for c=1,16 do
		turtle.select(c)
		turtle.dropDown()
	end
	sleep(240)
end

What do I need to do to fix this?
I'm running ComputerCraft version 1.58 in Minecraft version 1.6.4.

The farm is in this setup
x is sugarcane
[] is chest
the turtle starts out on top of the chest
the setup is only two blocks tall

You sure that's the right code? Cause it dosen't give me any errors, nor can i see anything wrong with it really.

That's exactly how I have it, and it returns that error.

Only thing i can suggest really would be to reinstall computercraft, as there is nothing wrong with the code you posted.

Yea, I already thought of that, it still didn't work.

Did you actually copy and paste it, or retype it from the computer? You're probably missing the parentheses from the function call on line 10.

[axel.codeFail()]

I copy-pasted the code. Besides, wouldn't it run, then error when it gets to that line? With this, it errors imediately.

Lua parses the script and turns it into Lua bytecode before it runs. This is a "compile"-time error, not a run-time error.

I relaunched the game, and now it works. Hm. Well thanks to all who helped.

[CometWolf]

So when you re-installed cc... You didn't relaunch it? Lol.

[axel.codeFail()]

I did, but for some reason it worked this time.
