getting error: Expected class com.devexperts.tos.thinkscript.data.SymbolType

[barrilete]

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or how I can get this to work? It's a watchlist column script to calculate percentage of option price as compared to underlying.

def price = close(); def symb = GetUnderlyingSymbol(); def underPrice = close(symb); plot pct = price / underPrice;

The errors are:

Expected class com.devexperts.tos.thinkscript.data.SymbolType at 3:18
Expected double at 2:5
Expected class com.devexperts.tos.thinkscript.data.SymbolType at 3:18

Never mind! I realized my error and here is the corrected script:

def price = close();
def underPrice = close(GetUnderlyingSymbol());
addLabel(yes, asPercent( price / underPrice));

can't assign text with a def
def symb = GetUnderlyingSymbol();

have to use GetUnderlyingSymbol() in the price function
def underPrice = close(GetUnderlyingSymbol());
