I’m getting this error:

Can anyone help me figure out? This is my code below:

change to

for( object t in times )
var parseFloat(t.toString());  /////<-------- referring to this line here.

You are using parseFloat as a method that’s also initializing a variable. To do this properly, do the following:

var floatDesired = parseFloat(object.ToString());

However, unless part of the default library, the parseFloat method that takes a string object is not in your code and you will get a different error.

Well, your line 213 makes not much sense:

 var parseFloat(object.toString(t));

The var keyword has to be followed by a variable name. Also the next line accesses the t variable but outside the for loop.

You don’t put an arguments into ToString(), you just type it like:

SomeThingHere.ToString();
