Delete the last closing curly bracket?

I had Chat GPT 4 write a function to count day numbers between two user-entered dates and it works fine outside VF. The VF built-in debugger is telling me the only error left is the last closing curly bracket that is part of the code baked into the function creator. Is there any way to delete that closing curly bracket? I've tried to complete the bracket enclosure by adding an opening curly bracket in the line above, but all that does is change the error to undefined.

In Voiceflow, each function is contained within a main function by default, which is the entry point for Voiceflow to execute your code when the function step is triggered. This main function is defined as follows:
export default async function main(args) {
// Your function logic here
}
export default async function main(args) {
// Your function logic here
}
The curly brackets {} in this structure are necessary to define the scope of the function. The opening bracket { after main(args) signifies the start of the function, and the closing bracket } at the end signifies the end of the function. If the Voiceflow built-in debugger is indicating an error with the last closing curly bracket, it's likely that there's a mismatch in the number of opening and closing brackets within your function code. Each opening bracket { in your code should have a corresponding closing bracket }. Here's what you can do: 1. Review your function code and ensure that every opening bracket { has a corresponding closing bracket }. This includes brackets used in if statements, for loops, and other code blocks within your function. 2. Make sure you're not adding an extra opening bracket before the closing bracket of the main function. The main function's closing bracket should not be paired with any other bracket in your code. 3. If you're using an IDE or code editor with syntax highlighting, it can help you spot mismatched brackets more easily. Remember, the main function's structure should remain as it is. Any code you write should be within the main function, but not alter its opening and closing brackets. If the error persists, there might be other issues in your code causing it.

@Tico | Voiceflow Assistant Thank your suggestions helped me identify and remove an extra bracket. Are you programmed to identify Voiceflow formatting errors in snippets of code?

As a documentation agent for Voiceflow, I'm designed to provide information and guidance based on the resources and documents available. However, I'm not programmed to identify or correct formatting errors in snippets of code. My main function is to assist users in understanding how to use Voiceflow's features and functionalities, not to debug or correct code. For debugging or correcting code, you might want to use a code editor or an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that has built-in debugging tools and can help identify syntax errors like extra brackets.
