First, "missing" type errors can easily be avoided by having a decent approach to indentation.
SourceForge.net: Indentation - cpwiki

Second, what did you do to stop it compiling?
A development process

Write in small steps, compile as you go.
If you write 5 new lines, and get some new compiler errors, you only have to consider the 5 lines you wrote.

Writing 100 lines and then wondering what to do on the first compile is not a good strategy.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

#define MAX 6


int add (const int t_array[], int f, int r, int max, int added_t);


int main()

{
    int taxi_array[MAX];
	int menu = 0;
	int front = -1;
    int rear = -1;
	int addedTaxi;

// Loop for Menu
while ( menu <= 8 )
{

//Menu for User
printf("-------------------------------\n");
printf("Please Select an option from the menu.\n");
	printf("1. arrive:	Add a taxi to the rear of the queue.\n");
printf("-------------------------------\n");
scanf_s("%d",&menu);

		printf("The Following Taxi has joined the queue: %s \n", taxi_array[rear]);
        break;
    
	default:
		
		break;
	}
}

int add(const int taxi_array[], int front, int rear, int MAX, int addedTaxi)

	}

	printf("Input the reg of the new taxi\n");
	scanf_s("%d", addedTaxi);

Started to rewrite my code and still getting these two errors please help

(46) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
(52) : error C2059: syntax error : 'else'

This is what your code looks like, indented.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

#define MAX 6

int add (const int t_array[], int f, int r, int max, int added_t);

int main()
{
    int taxi_array[MAX];
    int menu = 0;
    int front = -1;
    int rear = -1;
    int addedTaxi;

    // Loop for Menu
    while ( menu <= 8 )
    {
        //Menu for User
        printf("-------------------------------\n");
        printf("Please Select an option from the menu.\n");
        printf("1. arrive:    Add a taxi to the rear of the queue.\n");
        printf("-------------------------------\n");
        scanf_s("%d",&menu);                
        
        switch (menu)                  // Menu System for the Taxi Queue
        {
        case 1:
            //Enter Taxi Registration Number to the Queue         
            add(taxi_array, front, rear, MAX, addedTaxi);             
            printf("The Following Taxi has joined the queue: %s \n", taxi_array[rear]);
            break;
            
        default:
            
            break;
        }
    }

    int add(const int taxi_array[], int front, int rear, int MAX, int addedTaxi)

    if (rear==MAX-1)
    {
        printf("Taxi Rank Full\n");
    }
    else if (front==-1) //If queue is initially empty
    {
        front=0;
        printf("Input the reg of the new taxi\n");
        scanf_s("%d", addedTaxi);
        rear=rear+1;
        taxi_array[rear] = addedTaxi;
    }//End of add

See how add() is indented - your main is missing a closing brace.

See what is missing at the end of your add function definition - another brace pair.

This is how you should type in code.

Code:

int main ( ) {
    return 0;
}

Then it becomes

Code:

int main ( ) {
    int taxi_array[MAX];
    int menu = 0;
    int front = -1;
    int rear = -1;
    int addedTaxi;

    // Loop for Menu
    while ( menu <= 8 )
    {
    }
    return 0;
}

Then say

Code:

int main ( ) {
    int taxi_array[MAX];
    int menu = 0;
    int front = -1;
    int rear = -1;
    int addedTaxi;

    // Loop for Menu
    while ( menu <= 8 )
    {
    }
    return 0;
}

int add(const int taxi_array[], int front, int rear, int MAX, int addedTaxi)
{
    return 0;
}

At each stage, you compile and make sure it is OK.
Also, at each stage, you make SURE that braces, parentheses etc are balanced from the START.

Typing a {, then hoping at some later time you'll get the } in the right place first time, every time, is a waste of effort.

Ok, a few things that will help you strategically...

1) Don't put code in switch statements. Write the desired action for each case: as a function and call it from the switch statement. This both compartmentalizes the code to make it easier to debug and simplifies the switch statement making it simper to debug.

2) Put all function calls above main and do not use prototypes except as forward declarations. This will force you to organize your code in a rational manner, again making debugging easier.

3) Your indentation strategy appears random. It does not visually represent the way your code works. If you take the time to indent your code according to a fixed strategy, you will find it a lot easier to fix when it breaks.

4) The error is because you are missing the opening brace in your Add function. A good IDE with brace matching is a huge help here. Alternatively just enter the two braces together { } and insert your code between them as you work.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

#define MAX 6


int add (int t_array[], int f, int r, int max, int added_t);


int main()

{
    int taxi_array[MAX];
	int menu = 0;
	int front = -1;
    int rear = -1;
	int addedTaxi;

// Loop for Menu
while ( menu <= 8 )
{

return 0;


//Menu for User
printf("-------------------------------\n");
printf("Please Select an option from the menu.\n");
	printf("1. arrive:	Add a taxi to the rear of the queue.\n");
printf("-------------------------------\n");
scanf_s("%d",&menu);				
	


switch (menu)                  // Menu System for the Taxi Queue
    {
    case 1:
		                            //Enter Taxi Registration Number to the Queue 		
		add(taxi_array, front, rear, MAX, addedTaxi);             
        break;
    
	default:
		
		break;
	}
}
}


int add(int taxi_array[], int front, int rear, int MAX, int addedTaxi)
{
	return 0;
}//End of add

The add function might appear indented on here but it is not on my actual code, I have now started to compile and then write more like you have told but I get up to my add function everytime and get the same errors please help, they are all on line 50 which is the add function line. Tater Im not sure what you mean by saying put the call functions above main, because I need to call them in the switch statment. Thanks for the help so far

Errors:

(50) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before 'constant'
(50) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before 'constant'
(50) : error C2059: syntax error : '<Unknown>'

When I compiled your code I got about 20 warnings, mostly related to missing brackets and uninitialized values...

Here's a cleaned up and working version from message #6 ... notice how much clearer it is when you format your code correctly...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#define MAX 6


int add(int taxi_array[], int front, int rear, int max)
{
    return 0;
}//End of add


int main( void )
{
   int taxi_array[MAX];
   int menu   = 0;
   int front  = -1;
   int rear   = -1;
   int addedTaxi;

  // Loop for Menu
  while ( menu <= 8 )
  {//Menu for User
    printf("-------------------------------\n");
    printf("Please Select an option from the menu.\n");
    printf("1. Arrive\tAdd a taxi to the rear of the queue.\n");
    printf("-------------------------------\n");
    scanf("%d",&menu);				
	 
  // Menu System for the Taxi Queue
  switch (menu)                  
    {
      case 1:                   //Enter Taxi Registration Number to the Queue 
        add(taxi_array, front, rear, MAX);             
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }
  }

  return 0; 
}
