Small Error it seems.

SOLVED


I've been working on this project for a few hours now, and I've got the algorithm part of it down, however, I've been having 8 errors, all caused by "missing semicolons" supposedly. I cannot for the life of me find the problem/error however. Here is my following code (its not huge, less then 150 lines about). Opinions are welcome and I am still an amateur.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

// The purpose of this program is to calculate United State's personal income tax based
// on filing status and taxable income.

// Filing Statuses
// 0 = Single Filer
// 1 = Married Filing Jointly
// 2 = Married Filing Seperately
// 3 = Head of Household

ifstream inFile; // Input stream

int SSN, filingStatus; //used SSN as variable for simplicity and popularness.
float taxableIncome; // Taxable Income (total income before tax)
string firstName, middleName, lastName; // strings for each part of the name
string fullName = firstName + middleName + lastName; // Just to make it simple.

float computeSingle(float);
float computeMjoint(float);
float computeMseperate(float);
float computeHeadhouse(float);
// All float integers in the above formulas are for taxableIncome. These formula's compute the tax.

int main()
{

	inFile.open("taxData.txt"); //opens stream for input.

	if (!inFile) // Small if statement to check for file stream status.
	{
		cout << "File could not be opened or found" << endl;
		return 0;
	}

	inFile >> firstName >> middleName >> lastName >> SSN >> filingStatus >> taxableIncome; //Getting input in order.
	
	cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);

	if(filingStatus = 0){
		cout << "Full Name = " << fullName << endl
			 << "SSN = " << SSN << endl
			 << "Filing Status = " << filingStatus << endl
			 << "Computed Tax = " << computeSingle(taxableIncome) << endl;
	}
	else if(filingStatus = 1){
		cout << "Full Name = " << fullName << endl
			 << "SSN = " << SSN << endl
			 << "Filing Status = " << filingStatus << endl
			 << "Computed Tax = " << computeMjoint(taxableIncome) << endl;
	}
	else if(filingStatus = 2){
		cout << "Full Name = " << fullName << endl
			 << "SSN = " << SSN << endl
			 << "Filing Status = " << filingStatus << endl
			 << "Computed Tax = " << computeMseperate(taxableIncome) << endl;
	}
	else if(filingStatus = 3){
		cout << "Full Name = " << fullName << endl
			 << "SSN = " << SSN << endl
			 << "Filing Status = " << filingStatus << endl

	return 0;

	return 0;

	return 0;
}

and here are the errors. They are based in the sub formulas (computeSingle, etc). Each one of these errors appears twice in the output log. I am using Visual Studio 2008.

(90) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'constant'
(112) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'constant'
(135) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'constant'
(158) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'constant'

Any help is greatly appreciated. I've been looking for an hour or so now and I figured it would be best to get a different perspective.

This doesn't do what you think:

Code:

filingStatus = 0

You need to use "==" to do a comparison.

Your semicolon errors are caused by the 8 that was most likely supposed to by a '*':

Code:

return (i - 307051) * .386 + 307050 8 .35 + 171950 * .30 + 112850 * .27 + 46700 * .15 + 12000 * .10;

Thank you greatly for your input. My left shift key sticks all the time (I had to buy a cheap 20$ keyboard after my g15 blew up)
