when I want to compile I get : Probléme : expected unqualified-id before "return" return 0; about last line : erreur:expexted declaration before { token
I left the code unchanged just the middle part I changed... whats the problem??? here is my code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{ cout << "Pensez a un personnage : Mlle Rose, le Professeur Violet, " << "le Colonel Moutarde," << endl << "le Reverend Olive ou Mme Leblanc." << endl << endl; cout << "Votre personnage a-t-il des moustaches (1 : oui, 0 : non) ? "; bool moustaches; cin >> moustaches; cout << "Votre personnage porte-t-il des lunettes ? "; bool lunettes; cin >> lunettes; cout << "Votre personnage porte-t-il un chapeau ? "; bool chapeau; cin >> chapeau; cout << "Est-ce que votre personnage est un homme ? "; bool homme; cin >> homme; cout << "==> Le personnage auquel vous pensez est "; if (chapeau) { /******************************************* * Completez le programme a partir d'ici. *******************************************/ cout << "le Professeur Violet"; else if (moustaches) { cout << "le Colonel Moutarde"; } else if (not lunettes) { cout << "Mlle Rose"; } else if (homme) { cout <<"le Révérend Olive"; } else { cout <<"Mme Leblanc"; } /******************************************* * Ne rien modifier apres cette ligne. *******************************************/ } cout << endl; return 0;
}

Just for the sake of people who landed here for the same reason I did:
Don't use reserved keywords
I named a function in my class definition delete(), which is a reserved keyword and should not be used as a function name. Renaming it to deletion() (which also made sense semantically in my case) resolved the issue.
For a list of reserved keywords:
I quote: "Since they are used by the language, these keywords are not available for re-definition or overloading. "
1if (chapeau) {You forgot the ending brace to this if statement, so the subsequent else if is considered a syntax error. You need to add the brace when the if statement body is complete:
if (chapeau) { cout << "le Professeur Violet";
}
else if (moustaches) { cout << "le Colonel Moutarde";
}
// ...Suggestions:
- use consistent 3-4 space indenting and you will find these problems much easier
- use a brace style that lines up {} vertically and you will see these problems quickly
- always indent control blocks another level
- use a syntax highlighting editor, it helps, you'll thank me later
for example,
type
functionname( arguments )
{ if (something) { do stuff } else { do other stuff } switch (value) { case 'a': astuff break; case 'b': bstuff //fallthrough //always comment fallthrough as intentional case 'c': break; default: //always consider default, and handle it explicitly break; } while ( the lights are on ) { if ( something happened ) { run around in circles if ( you are scared ) //yeah, much more than 3-4 levels of indent are too many! { scream and shout } } } return typevalue; //always return something, you'll thank me later
}You need to move " } " before the line of cout << endl; to the line before the first else .
