Thread: || or starements

hey only in 4th week of learning c++ just wanted to know what this error message means for this program, i am using dev c++ as a compiler:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()

{
	          
	           double answer = 0, userinput = 0, convertback = 0;
	           int convert =0, modcon = 0, modcon1 = 0, wholenum = 0, cents = 0, cents1 = 0;
	           
	            	cout << setiosflags(ios::fixed);
                  	cout << setiosflags(ios::showpoint);
                   	cout << setprecision(2);

                         cout<<"Please enter a sum of money and i will round it to the  nearest 5 cents for you: ";
                         cin>>userinput;
                         
                                        convert =(int)(userinput*100);
                                        modcon =(convert&#37;100);
                                        wholenum =(convert-modcon);
                                        modcon1 =(modcon%10);
                                        
                                        
                                                if (modcon1 >= 3 || <=7)
                                               {
                                                   modcon1 =((modcon/5 + 1)*5);
                                                   }else if (modcon1 <=2 || >=8)
                                                   {
                                                         modcon1 =((modcon/5)*5);
                                                         }
                                                   
                                                  cents =(modcon-modcon1);
                                                  cents1 =(cents+modcon1);
                                                  convertback =(double)(wholenum+cents1);
                                                  answer =(convertback/100);
                                                  
                         cout<<"The Answer is: "<<endl;
                         
          return 0;
          
}

error saying - expected primary-expression before '<=' token
appeared for || or statement, sorry if i dodnt give enough info here or something but i think thats all you need.....
thnx in advance and i know its not finished yet

You'll need && if you want to check if modcon is in range 3...7 (both conditions must be true).

And if you fix this

Code:

if (modcon1 >= 3 && modcon1 <= 7) {
   ...
}
else if (modcon1 <= 2 || modcon1 >= 8) {
   ...
}

the red part becomes redundant: if the program execution gets to the else part, this condition will always be true.
