Thread: else is Miss Placeed????????

Here is my PGM and i mention the error alos.. please suggest the reason for the error so that i will not repeat it...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main()
{
char h,sex,c;  /* Health , Sex and City */
int age;

printf(" Health Stat -- Excellent=E or Poor=P, Sex-- M , F City -- City=C or V=village and age");
scanf("%c %c %c %d",&h,&sex,&c,&age);
clrscr();
/* Condition 1st */

if((h=='E' && sex=='M') &&( c='C')&&( age>=25 && age<=35));
       printf(" Premium is Rs 4 / Thousand and Policy amount can not exceed 2 lakhs");

/*Condition 2nd */
if((h=='E' && sex=='F') &&( c='C')&&( age>=25 && age<=35));
printf("The Premium is 3/thousand and policy can not exceed Rs.1 lakh");

/*3rd condition*/
if((h=='P' && sex=='M') &&( c='V')&&( age>=25 && age<=35));
printf(" Premium is 6/thosuand and policy can not exceed Rs.10000");

/* Condition 4th*/
    else   /*  Misplace else in fuciton main ()*/
    {
    printf("person is not insured");
    }


getch();
}

Code:

/* Condition 4th*/
    else   /*  Misplace else in fuciton main ()*/
    {
    printf("person is not insured");
    }

I also removed ' }' and '{' but the ssame problem.

There is also a book named Let Us C Solutions By Yaswant Kanetkar
It not only solves the exercises from Let Us C, but also explains them very well.

You definitely need to review the syntax for an if statement.

Code:

if (condition)
   single_statement;

if (condition)
   single_statement;
else
   single_statement;

if (condition) {
  many_statements;
}

if (condition) {
   many_statements;
}
else {
  many_statements;
}

etc...

There are no semicolons after the if (condition); <--- NOOOO, unless you want an empty statement here, which you almost NEVER want.

It's important because it will help you catch bugs, as well as make others be able to read it.
Plus int main() should be int main(void) in C.
And you should probably up warnings to max if you can. Some compiler will warn about empty if statements.

I tried everything that i can do but still same problem ? Give some clue that i can over come this. If i will oncec get to know my mistake now then i can be careful next time.

Remove the ; after the ) on the lines that start with if(
