c++ homework help

[PoorLepRecon]

I have a program assigned for my C++ class that I'm having some trouble with. I have a few syntax errors that are eluding me and I was wondering if someone might take a look and see if they can identify what the problem is. I believe part of my problem is the brackets around the else statements at lines 34, 43, 49.

 

-removed, thanks for help

 

 

 

The compiler errors I get currently are these.

 

 

 

My whole problem might just be I'm not doing my nested if/else statements syntactically correct, so if that's the case it should be easy for me to fix once I know how to correctly do it.

You don't need to put a condition for else statements in C++, the else will be triggered automatically if the condition in the initial if statement or any else if statements following it is not met.

 

For example line 34 should read

else

instead of

else (cash>=129.95)

 

The error on 49 is being caused because you have curly braces in the else condition, but not in the initial if statement. If you're going to use any curly braces in a conditional block (if, else if, else) you need to use them in all of the statements before the one you want to use it in as well.

 

Also don't forget to CIN the amount of money the person has, right now you're not actually asking the user for that data. ;)

 

Hopefully that should clean up those compiler errors for you. :)

Yes it did. Many thanks! I was able to finish up the program easily after that.
