Error when compiling program

epicjank · #1 17-Jan-2009, 21:38

I'm pretty new at programming and ran into an error when compiling my program.

The code is as follows:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() ;

        double odds, money, betamt;
        cout << "Enter the odds for the event " << endl;
        cin >> odds;
        cout << "Enter your bet amount " << endl;
        cin >> odds;
        if odds > 0;
                money = odds + betamt - 100;
                cout << "You would win $" << money << "/n";
        else if odds < 0;
                money = odds + betamt + 100;
                cout << "You would win $" << money << "/n";

        return 0;
}

I get this error:

Code:

bet.cpp:7: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘<<’ token

for lines 7-16, 18, 19.

I read through the guidelines for posting and I think I've got just about everything. Any help would be appreciated.

                cout << "You would win $" << money << "\n";
        }
        else if (odds < 0)
        {
                money = odds + betamt + 100;
                cout << "You would win $" << money << "\n";
        }
        return 0;
}

        }
        return 0;
}

That didn't really help me. I even put that in Terminal and still got errors when compiling.

Can someone let me know what I did wrong?

You're welcome.

What compiler are you using? I fixed a number of syntax errors in the code I posted, and it compiles fine on my end. You'll need to provide some more info.

My bad, I just put it in again and it worked fine. I don't know what happened. Thanks for your help.
