Error with code, cannot figure out solution...

A few errors are popping up in unity when I tried to compose a simple movement script to move the player right and left. Can someone identify the problem and/or present me with an open solution?

Here is my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Movement : MonoBehaviour {
	
	public int speed = 5;
	
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		if(gameObject.tag == "Player") {
			if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A)) {
				transform.Translate(Vector3(-1, 0, 0) * Time.deltaTime * speed);
			}
		}

		if(gameObject.tag == "Player") {
			if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D)) {
				transform.Translate(Vector3( 1, 0, 0) * Time.deltaTime * speed);
			}
		}
	}
}

Thanks in advance!

When creating a new Vector3, you need the ‘new’ keyword in C# (not necessary in Javascript). Also you use GetKeyDown(). This will only fire for a single frame, so it only move once for each key press. If you want continuous movement, use GetKey() instead. And as @Loius indicated, the tag comparison is not necessary.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
 
public class Bug16 : MonoBehaviour {
 
    public int speed = 5;
 
    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
 
    }
 
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {
       //if(gameObject.tag == "Player") {
         if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A)) {
          transform.Translate(new Vector3(-1, 0, 0) * Time.deltaTime * speed);
         }
       //}
 
      // if(gameObject.tag == "Player") {
         if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D)) {
          transform.Translate(new Vector3( 1, 0, 0) * Time.deltaTime * speed);
         }
       //}
    }
}
