newbie smalltalk question

I have the following code:

isValid (self value == nil and: [self required == false]) ifTrue: [^true]. self isCorrectType ifFalse: [self validationError: 'value doesn''t coerce to correct type'. ^false.] ^ self allConditionsValid.

when I try to save this I get a ' Nothing more expected ->' right before '^ self allConditionsValid'.  I'm guessing this is because I have the '^false' in the second line?

How would I accomplish the same thing - correctly?

Thanks,

Elliot

You are missing a period after the close of the block.  You have a period /before/ the end of the block, which is unnecessary.  Move it to the other side of the ']'.
