I am getting a big problem at the end of my arrange function. It reads the last line of code in the function, but then never leaves the function. I don't care about output at this point. I just want to figure out why I can't leave the function and at least run the entire program. I can fudge stuff around then to tweak the correct output.
Any help. I am a student. I have written this code, just need some help. This is my second programming class, so please 'dumb' it down for me. Thanks.
