else if

hi I have code my programme but there is an error that I appreciate anybody helps me. It says that 'else' need a statement while i have put the statement there. here is the code:

  else {
            lcd.clear();
            lcd.refresh();
            time_t seconds = time(NULL); // get current time
            // format time into a string (time and date)
            strftime(buffer1, 14 , "%X ", localtime(&seconds));
            strftime(buffer3, 14 , "%D ", localtime(&seconds));

            // print over serial
            // serial.printf("Time = %s\n",buffer1);
            sprintf(buffer2," %s",buffer1);
            lcd.printString(buffer2,0,2);
            lcd.printString(buffer3,0,3);

            if (setTimeFlag) {   // if updated time has been sent
                setTimeFlag = 0; // clear flag
                setTime();       // update time
            }
            //wait(0.2);           // stops the screen from flashing
        }

Have you closed the initial 'if' with a bracket., need to see the rest of the code really.

no worries. the problem was for not having 'buttonB.mode(PullUp);' at the begging, thanks anyway during using the button
