gradle build.gradle issue with "version:"(forge modding)

Question

I am 10000000000% new to coding forge mods. I am trying to run this command:

./gradlew setupdecompworkspace

I typed this in the terminal after going through the file path. I get this error message:

* What went wrong:
Could not compile build file '/Users/fred/Desktop/Mods-In-Progress/LearningMod/build.gradle'.
> startup failed:
  build file '/Users/fred/Desktop/Mods-In-Progress/LearningMod/build.gradle': 15: unexpected token: 16.5 @ line 15, column 13.
     version =‘1.16.5-1.0.0’
                     ^
  
  1 error

My build.gradle file is this(I am not showing the whole thing btw):

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url = 'https://maven.minecraftforge.net' }
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath group: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle', name: 'ForgeGradle', version: '4.1.+', changing: true
    }
}
apply plugin: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle'
// Only edit below this line, the above code adds and enables the necessary things for Forge to be setup.
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

version =‘1.16.5-1.0.0’
group = 'com.yourname.modid' // http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html
archivesBaseName = 'modid'

So, my question is how do I fix the error message. I have tried everything I can think of. I am following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFVFqZo5t5Q
Thanks,

You need to use '', not ‘’. Replace that line with version ='1.16.5-1.0.0'.

what about version =“1.16.5-1.0.0” – CreativeDrone Jul 08 '21 at 00:20
@CreativeDrone No, that's wrong too. You need `""`, not `“”`. `"1.16.5-1.0.0"` should be fine though. – Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica Jul 08 '21 at 00:21
Nope! Does not fix it – CreativeDrone Jul 08 '21 at 00:22
That's because you still didn't do it right. Copy and paste what I wrote, and if it still doesn't work, then post the new error. – Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica Jul 08 '21 at 00:22

That means my change *did* fix it. You had another problem too, that was revealed by fixing the first one. As for your new problem, see https://stackoverflow.com/q/67997715/7509065 – Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica Jul 08 '21 at 00:28
Hello! I am making an actual Forge mod. The link you gave me was for spigot. I am USING FORGE. So, how do I fix the error(the new one) – CreativeDrone Jul 08 '21 at 14:13
btw I am actually trying to make a java 8 forge mod – CreativeDrone Jul 08 '21 at 14:15
The problem you had originally is solved. If you have a new unrelated problem, then ask a new question. – Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica Jul 08 '21 at 16:31
