Hi Katherine,
When I was just beginning with programming in C#, I found it very helpful
to add a code comment to the line with the closing brace to indicate what
it was closing. For example:
public void MyMethod(int number, bool value) {
for (int i = 0; i < number; i++) {
if (value) {
DoSomething();
} else {
DoSomethingElse();
} // end "if"
} // end "for"
} // end "MyMethod"
Are you using Visual Studio or similar tool to write your code? "Smart"
tools like Visual Studio can help keep track of this by automatically
inserting braces at the right places, as opposed to writing your code in a
plain text editor.
