Thread: BLACKJACK - final

Hello there. So I've completed the code to my little blackjack code and it seems correctly written, however, I haven't been able to run the code to see how it works because of an syntax error which I have been struggling to find, but nothing turns up. I've run the code up and down and I just can't find any bug. Will you take a look at it?

The error message reads: syntax error before "system"; line 44

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main(void){
    int n,i,k,cont,cont2;
    char card;
    
    srand(time(NULL));
    for(n=0;n<20;n++){
                      cont=0;
                      printf("#####################################\n");
                      printf("             BLACKJACK\n\n");
                      
                      do{
                         printf("Draw card??\n");
                         scanf("%c",&card);
                         
                         if(card == 's'){
                              cont+=rand()%12;
                              if(cont>21){
                                          printf("%d",cont);
                                          printf("You just lost!!\n");}
                                          
                              if(cont==21){
                                           printf("BLACKJACK!!!");}
                                           
                              else{
                                   printf("%d\n",cont);}
                                          }
                              }while(card!='n' && cont < 22);
                         do{
                              cont2=0;
                              do{
                              cont2+=rand()%12;}while(cont2<18);
                              if(cont2>21){
                                          printf("You have won!!\n");}
                              if(cont2==21){
                                            if(cont==cont2){
                                                            printf("Split pot!!\n");}
                                                            }
                              if(cont2>cont && cont2<22){
                                            printf("You lost: you had %d points to %d from the Computer\n",cont,cont2);}
                                            }
                      system("pause");
                      system("cls");
                      }
    return 0;
}

Posting the error would help.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch.

Do all of your do statements have there while statement?

Oh boy. That's got to be it. I forgot to write the while statement after the last do.

Thanks, I don't know how I missed that one.

The program works horribly, by the way lol. Gotta go work on the code.
