help on code (closed)

[N0B0DY-1N-P4RT1CUL4R]

I'm a complete noob to picaxe and I'm in need of some help for a bit of code, I am using a 18m2 and I'm trying to get it to use the count basic command but i am getting syntax errors and am unsure how to resolve it.
the code I have so far is:
symbol (VaribleA = 0)
count (C.2, 25000, VaribleA)
any help is appreciated

I've figured out the varible but i still get a syntax error on the count code, its at/before position 7 and seems to be the C and im unsure why

Should not be using brackets, and incorrect variable definition used, look at the examples in the online "Basic Commands"
eg.

Symbol variableA = w0
Count C.2, 25000, variableA

I’ve solved the variable problem and I tried without the brackets but there seems to be a problem with the c as that’s where the syntax always appears

I bet you haven't entered exactly as shown.

There are no errors in that.

Did you set the PICAXE editor for an 18M2?

Editor version 6 is quite happy with those two lines when it knows the chip is an 18M2

But it gives that error if the chip is a 28X1 or a 40X1.

the chip is set as 18m2 and its still a syntax error

ive changed the code a tad but the premise is still the same.

symbol varibleA = 0
COUNT C.2, 5000, varibleA
