as was mentioned in your previous post, please use code tags when posting code here. Your current code is unformatted making it difficult to read. Also, when doing this, make sure that the pasted code has proper indentation before you use the code tags.
To do this, you will need to paste already formatted code into the forum, highlight this code, and then press the "code" button at the top of the forum Message editor prior to posting the message. You may want to click on the Preview tab to make sure that your code is formatted correctly. Another way is to place the tag [code] at the top of your block of code and the tag [/code] at the bottom, like so:
[code]
  // your code block goes here.
  // note the differences between the tag at the top vs the bottom.
[/code]
