Cant see a parse error, but my compiler can

[sw9830]

HI everyone, my compiler says there is a parse error before else, but I dont know what it is? delay is a simple pause function, and the following bit of code is intended to abort a program mid loop by pressing x.

if ( (ch = getc(stdin)) == 'x')

break;
printf("Program aborted. Exiting Program...");
delay();

else
continue;

Anyone shed some light pls? thanks

If you have more than one statement that follows the "if" you need to enclose them in braces { }.

Like so

if (test)
{
   Do this;
   And this;
}
else
{
   Do me;
   And me;
}

aha!

Thanks! It's been a long day.....
