have added many print statements to debug and yet, none of them get printed. especially in finalname$()$:"waiting for input..." does not print. neither do any of the debug statements. however, if exit is entered, the loop breaks and if there's an error, "error!", gets printed $($so the loop and method DOES get executed$)-$ but displayname$()$ never prints with the new array. and any changes made to the array never get updated. im so confused, why would some messages, $($the ones in if statements$),$ get printed but none of the actual printing lines?
