    La solución esta en como escribes los comandos yo he intentado con los q el enlace me muestra, pero no todos funcionan bien, lo cual investigue y me di cuenta. que en otros videos tutoriales de los mismos temas ya expuestos; podíamos en la parte lógica, cambiar algunos de los comandos escritos que nos da este sitio o agregar algún otro. Mi consejo es que miren el mismo tema en otros tutoriales de lo mismo les aseguro van a encontrar fácil mente varios formas de hacer lo mismo
