Google SpreadsheetApp help needed - google-apps-script

Question

This is a program designed to move data within 1 Spreadsheet containing a few Sheets
I don't know much about JavaScript I have only learned Java.
My Problem:
The addAcceptedHours method is designed to move a cell with data of a number, to a separate sheet (containing a list of names in the first column, columns 2-5 contain numbers). I need it to move the hours to a certain column of the row (the row is given from searchCol(String, Sheet)).
The var data is 2d array of the information submitted from a form looks like this:
[[(new Date(1339776313000)), "Firstname last", "email#email.com", 2015 , "A paragraph of text.", another paragraph of text", 00, "Freshman", "yet another paragraph of text", "Even moar text", "more text :3", "Firstname last"]]
0=timestamp
1=**firstname last**
2=email
3=** int(year graduating)**
4= paragraph of text (irrelevant to part)
5=** float (a number of hours)
6= "freshman", "sophomore", "junior", or "senior" (this will determine the column the number from 5 goes)**
7= paragraph of text (irrelevant to part)
8=paragraph of text (irrelevant to part)
9=paragraph of text (irrelevant to part)
10=paragraph of text (irrelevant to part)
11=a name onceagain
I need to add the number (5), to a row in another sheet in the column of 2-5 depending on (6)
for some reason it skips everything after the if statement in addAcceptedHours and adds the hours into the the 2nd column every time

Answer 1

fixed:

//get data

var sss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Accepted Hours');
var numhr = parseFloat(ss.getRange(2, 7).getValue().toString());
//asks how many hours to accept
var hrs = Browser.inputBox("how many hours will you accept (out of " + numhr + " hours)", Browser.Buttons.OK);
if (hrs.length > 0){
numhr = parseFloat(hrs);
ss.getRange(2, 7).setValue(numhr);}
data[0][6]=numhr;
//finds the row with the students name to add hours to
var name = data[0][1];
var row = searchCol(name,sss);
if (row == -1)// if not found, look to see if simaler names (check for misspelled names), then if the name is the same person set row to that row
row = checkForSim(name);
if (row == -1) {//if not misspelled then add the students name to the list, put it in order, get the row #

//finds wich column to add years to
var col = 2;

else{
if (data[0][7].toString() == 'Senior')
col=5;
}}}
sss.getRange(row, col).setValue(parseFloat(sss.getRange(row, col).getValue()) + numhr);
}
function addChesedOpportunity(){
//gets info
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Chesed Opportunities')
var private = data[0][11];
//if private? is not awnsered, ask if they want it private
if (private==null)

if (private.equalsIgnoreCase('no')){
var rec = data[0][9] + " " + data[0][10];
