Hi Kindly help me to see where i went wrong:

this is my code:

CREATE TABLE RENTAL
(
[RENTALNO] INT IDENTITY (1000,1)NOT NULL,
[VEHNO] VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
[CUSTNO]varchar(5) NOT NULL,
[DATERENTED] DATE NULL,
[DATERETURNED] DATE NOT NULL,
[CONDITION] CHAR(20) DEFAULT 'EXCELLENT',
CONSTRAINT RENTALNOPK PRIMARY KEY(RENTALNO),
CONSTRAINT VEHNOFK FOREIGN KEY(VEHNO)
REFERENCES Car(VEHNO)
ON DELETE NO ACTION
ON UPDATE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT CUSTNOFK FOREIGN KEY(CUSTNO)
REFERENCES CUSTOMER(CUSTNO)
ON DELETE NO ACTION
ON UPDATE CASCADE
CONSTRAINT CARRENTEDVALUES CHECK((([DATERETURNED]) > DATERENTED)) & ([DATERETURNED] <>DATERENTED)),

CONSTRAINT ContitionValues CHECK([Contition] LIKE 'excellent' OR
[Contition] LIKE'above average' OR [Contition] LIKE'average' OR
[Contition] LIKE'needs repair')

And i am getting the following error:

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 18
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONSTRAINT'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 18
Incorrect syntax near 'DATERETURNED'.

Looks like you have too many brackets somewhere

CREATE TABLE RENTAL
(
[RENTALNO] INT IDENTITY (1000,1)NOT NULL,
[VEHNO] VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
[CUSTNO]varchar(5) NOT NULL, 
[DATERENTED] DATE NULL,
[DATERETURNED] DATE NOT NULL,
[CONDITION] CHAR(20) DEFAULT 'EXCELLENT',
CONSTRAINT RENTALNOPK PRIMARY KEY(RENTALNO),
CONSTRAINT VEHNOFK FOREIGN KEY(VEHNO)
REFERENCES Car(VEHNO)
ON DELETE NO ACTION 
ON UPDATE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT CUSTNOFK FOREIGN KEY(CUSTNO)
REFERENCES CUSTOMER(CUSTNO)
ON DELETE NO ACTION 
ON UPDATE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT CARRENTEDVALUES
	CHECK((([DATERETURNED]) > DATERENTED) and  ([DATERETURNED] <>DATERENTED)),
CONSTRAINT ContitionValues CHECK([Contition] LIKE 'excellent' OR
[Contition] LIKE'above average' OR [Contition] LIKE'average' OR
[Contition] LIKE'needs repair'))
