Error in pari/gp code


Hi,
I am trying to write a code to output the position of the last non-zero entry of this matrix but the code is giving a syntax error. I am not sure what went wrong. Could someone help in this regard?

Thanks,
Swati 

C = [[1, 2, 3, 4], [7, 9, 10], [25, 31, 0], [0, 0, 0]];
A = matconcat([C[1]; C[2]; C[3]; C[4]]);

R = 0;
C = 0;
S= 0;

for(i = matsize(A)[1], i >= 1 &&  S == 0, i--,
    for(j = matsize(A)[2], j >= 1 &&  S== 0, j--,
        if(A[i, j] != 0,
            R = i;
            C = j;
           S = 1; 
            break; 
  )))

if(S == 1,
    print("Position of the last non-zero entry:" [R, C]), 
    print("Matrix A contains only zeros.")
);
