[Liew Kin Wai]

Hi guys, I need some help, I am currently doing a prolog game blackjack, however when the code run in SWI prolog it shows 

ERROR: c:/users/tan may leng/downloads/bj (1).pl:78:35: Syntax error: String too long (see style_check/1)

ERROR: c:/users/tan may leng/downloads/bj (1).pl:80:45: Syntax error: Illegal start of term.

I have no idea what's got wrong with the code, can anyone help me? The rules and commands to play the game are already in the code. can anyone just copy the code, test it and tell me what's wrong with it?

command:-

write('currentChips.              To display current chips'),nl,

write('restart.                   To restart the game and reset the current chip to initial amount of 100'),nl,

write('halt.                      To quit the game'),nl,nl.

rules:-

write('player will have 100 chips once the game started'),nl,

write('the payrates will be the amount that player placed on their bet'),nl,

write('every game player will take card before dealer'),nl,

write('once player have enough point and decided to stop taking card, dealer will start to take card'),nl,

write('if player points exceed 21, considered lose, dealer will not need to take card for that game'),nl,

write('if player got blackjack, considered win, dealer will not need to take card for that game'),nl,

write('if dealer got blackjack, considered player lose'),nl,

You have an unescaped apostrophe inside a single-quoted atom somewhere in this rather large listing you've copy-pasted, I'd say. If you use a text editor with source highlighting and line numbers you should be able to spot the error yourself. The editor included in the IDE that comes with SWI-Prolog is quite useful, too.

Another advice is to try and isolate the error in your code so that you can give a minimal example that still has the error that you don't understand.

Cheers,

Boris

This is the error spotted, but I'm still don't understand how to fix it, can you guide me further?

You have periods in the wrong place and you need to be careful where you have phrases like ('dealer's point overflown, you have won ') .
