EDIT: I've made suggested edits and I no longer get errors but when trying to deploy to the Rinkeby Test Network, it does not function normally (every transaction fails).

If someone could look over this code, deploy it, and make changes, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Check you curly braces. This became a 15 minute bug that only required deleting one curly brace. Jul 31, 2021 at 22:01

You can't declare a function outside of a contract. My guess is that the right curly brace on line 91 (closing the contract) was unintentional.

EDIT

Deleting the curly brace on line 91 fixes the problem, but there are a number of other compilation issues in the code. I was able to get it all to compile by adding some missing declarations:

mapping(address => uint256) public balanceOf;
event Transfer(address from, address to, uint256 value);
uint256 public totalSupply;
mapping(address => mapping(address => uint256)) public allowance;
event Approval(address owner, address spender, uint256 value);
event Burn(address who, uint256 value);

and deleting one of the duplicate _transfer() functions. (At a glance, they appeared identical except for formatting.)

  • Regardless of whether I put the functions inside or outside of the contract, I get the same error, it just moves the error to a different line.

  • I'm not sure what edit you made. Did you delete the curly brace on line 91? If that wasn't the edit, please share your updated code. (Preferably, edit it into your question here rather than linking elsewhere.)

  • I made your advised changes, please see the updated code and comments.

  • Please post a new question for this. The original issue you had is resolved, and future developers don't benefit from two questions being crammed into one post. (It makes it hard to search and find what you need help with.)
