The following simple program contains two rather fatal errors: one is a missing instruction, and the other a wrongly written instruction. Please find them both and give corrections!

The wrongly written instruction: this is not a syntax error, this code would compile. Look for the error in the meaning of values.

It was not said, what the code should do... I tried to figure it out but i didn't understand. It is possible that it doesn't do anything meaningful.
