Answer 1

Oh I found it! Your inverted commas!

Answer 2

Let me look into this. Also weird rhyme.

Answer 3

You are using special double quotes for your strings, that will fail the compiler to parse your code, because the strings aren't properly wrapped in quotes. Is this what you mean by one little flaw?

P.S. Indentation is another "flaw" though 😁

Answer 4

There’s still one little flaw in our
code. It compiles and runs, but the
output isn’t 100% perfect. See if
you can spot the flaw , and fix it.
