Hi @miumama,

The errors are pointing to your c++ source file. Specifically, your “include” lines introduce some bugs:

#Include
#Include < ros / ros.h>

I can see these errors:

  • “include” should start with lowercase “i”
  • no space is allowed when specifying the header file location

So the two lines above should be:

#include 
#include <ros/ros.h>

Please check your code again and ensure you don’t have these kinds of errors and try again.

By the way, it appears you are not very familiar with C++ yet. Perhaps you want to try the Python version of the course? If you are not familiar with Python, we have a free course that will take you through the basics of it.
