I am having trouble figuring out how to code the portion relating to ISBN. I know ISBNs are 13 digits, but am not sure if this code is correct to print out the 13 digit ISBN.

You have some major problems here in this code. You can't have two main methods. On top of that you have one of the main methods defined in the middle of a for loop, which you can never do. Then the last function is not even finished.

Remember that you must have only ONE main method for your project.

Other things that we will need to see is your code for the printISBN() function and keep in mind that you will need to pass it an instance of a book, so instead of passing in ISBN() you will be looking to give it one of the spots from your books array.... printISBN(book[0]); //<-- print ISBN of book 1.

So clean up the code a little bit and show us what is going on and we can then help you further.

Thanks for helping us help you!

Why do you state
printISBN(book[0])
I do not understand why you refer to book again. I would think it should refer to ISBN[]

Thanks.
