    Quickie Q :o) (yea!!)

    i got this program to work (yea!!!!!!), but i have 1 error... for some reason the last else clause is an 'illegal else with an if'... i looked at the book a bajillion times and i'm doing exactly what the model says in the book...
    here's my code:

    /* SEC5.3 EX 14 */
    /* DATE: 07-23-02 */

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main()
    {
    int grade, one, two;

    printf("Enter numerical grade: ");
    scanf("%d", &grade);

    if ( grade == 100 )
    printf("Letter Grade: A\n");
    else if ( 0<=grade && grade>=99 )
    two = grade % 10;
    one = grade / 10;
    else
    printf("ERROR\n");


    printf("Letter Grade: ");
    switch (one) {
    case 0: case 1: case 2: case 3: case 4: case 5:
    printf("F\n"); break;
    case 6: printf("D\n");
    break;
    case 7: printf("C\n");
    break;
    case 8: printf("B\n");
    break;
    case 9: printf("A\n");
    break;
    }

    return 0;
    }

    if ( 0<=grade && grade>=99 )
    two = grade % 10;
    one = grade / 10;
    else


    If your if statement has more than one line, you need to use braces

    if ( 0<=grade && grade>=99 )
    {
    two = grade % 10;
    one = grade / 10;
    }
    else
