    Welcome to the Forum! Thanks for taking the time to learn to post code correctly.

    What do you mean by, "is my driver in the wrong place?" It looks good from here, at least posted with your other code for efficiency, but your requirements, either in your programming environment or according to the assignment, may be different.
