I am currently new to coding and this software is there something wrong with this code?

#pragma strict
var Damage: int = 40;
var distance: float:

function update ()
{
   if (imput.GetMouseButtonDown("Fire"1)
   }
       var hit : RaycastHit;
      if (Physics.Raycast (Transform.position, Transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forwdard), hit)
      {
         Distance = hit.distance;
         hit.transform.SendMessage ("ApplyDamage", Damage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReciever);
      }
   }
}

Line 7…

if (imput.GetMouseButtonDown("Fire"1)   
}

The “}” should be “{”. And “imput” should be “Input”.

I commented all the changes necessary to get it to compile:

#pragma strict
var Damage: int = 40;
var distance: float;   // Need a ';' instead of a ':'
 
function update ()
{
   if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))  // Put number inside quotes; missing a ')'; 'imput' should be 'Input'; GetMouseButtonDown() should be 'GetButtonDown'
   {  // Bracket backwards             
       var hit : RaycastHit;
      if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), hit))  // missing ')'; 'Transform' sould be 'transform'; 'forwdard' should be 'forward'
      {
         distance = hit.distance;  // 'Distance' should be 'distance'
         hit.transform.SendMessage ("ApplyDamage", Damage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);  // 'Receiever' should be 'Receiver'
      }
   }
}
