Hi Carmel,
Do you intend to have a variable named "float.times" here on the left
hand side of the assignment?
If so, try a different name. What's happening is not variable
assignment, but member assignment. The above statement is saying:
Take the "float" type, and set its "times" attribute to the right hand side.
And that's almost certainly not what you want to do.
