I'm currently using gamemaker studio 2 following a youtube guide on making my first game. I am very new to coding and need some help.

Im getting this error message attached to my code and I'm not sure why.

enter image description here

It should be 

dash_key = keyboard_check_pressed(ord("C"));

Note the double quotes ( " ) instead of single quotes ( ' ). If done correctly the "C" should be yellow in the editor to signify that a string is present.
