    Question If Statement Question

    Hello, I am working on a program to calculate the letter grade for a user once they put in their grade as a decimal.
    When I try to use the program, the following messages appear:
    Code:
    grade.cpp: In function `int main()':
    grade.cpp:48: syntax error at end of input
    Here is my program, can anyone find what I am doing wrong?
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    int main()
    {
    double x;
    cout << "Please Enter Percentage Rounded to the Nearest Hundredth of a Percent: " << endl;
    cin >> x;
    
    if (x >= 93)
    {cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is an A" << endl;}
    
    if (x <= 92.99 && x >= 90)
    {cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is an A-" << endl;}
    
    if (x <= 89.99 && x >= 87)
    {cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a B+" << endl;}
    
    if (x <= 86.99 && x >= 83)
    {cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a B" << endl;}
    
    if (x <= 82.99 && x >= 80)
    {cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a B-" << endl;}
    
    if (x <= 79.99 && x >= 77)
    {cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a C+" << endl;}
    
    if (x <= 76.99 && x >= 73)
    {cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a C" << endl;}
    
    if (x <= 72.99 && x >= 70)
    {cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a C-" << endl;
    }
    if (x <= 69.99 && x >= 67)
    {
    cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a D+" << endl;
    }
    if (x <= 66.99 && x >= 63)
    {
    cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a D" << endl;
    }
    if (x <= 62.99 && x >= 60)
    {
    cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a D-" << endl;
    }
    if (x <= 59.99)
    {
    cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is an F" << endl;
    }
    I sure hope that someone can help me out.
    Thank you!

    you are missing the brace that closes int main()

    Where's your close curly brace to end main()?

    You don't need braces in if statements if it's just one statement. It'll make your code neater, and you'll reduce the risk of making errors.

    You should return 0 too! :O

    Indentation is your friend in situations like these!

    To make Elysia's point clearer:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    int main()
    {
        double x;
        cout << "Please Enter Percentage Rounded to the Nearest Hundredth of a Percent: " << endl;
        cin >> x;
    
        if (x >= 93)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is an A" << endl;
        }
    
        if (x <= 92.99 && x >= 90)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is an A-" << endl;
        }
    
        if (x <= 89.99 && x >= 87)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a B+" << endl;
        }
    
        if (x <= 86.99 && x >= 83)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a B" << endl;
        }
    
        if (x <= 82.99 && x >= 80)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a B-" << endl;
        }
    
        if (x <= 79.99 && x >= 77)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a C+" << endl;
        }
    
        if (x <= 76.99 && x >= 73)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a C" << endl;
        }
    
        if (x <= 72.99 && x >= 70)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a C-" << endl;
        }
        if (x <= 69.99 && x >= 67)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a D+" << endl;
        }
        if (x <= 66.99 && x >= 63)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a D" << endl;
        }
        if (x <= 62.99 && x >= 60)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is a D-" << endl;
        }
        if (x <= 59.99)
        {
    	cout << "Your Score of " << x << " is an F" << endl;
        }

    Ehm, yes and no. The coding standard where I work says that you should always use braces, whether they are needed or not. The reason for that is that it's quite easy to have something like this:
    Code:
       if (x)
          do_something;
    and then add:
    Code:
       if (x)
          do_something;
          some_other;
    forgetting to add the braces around the conditional code, and of course, that goes wrong, because despite indentation, some_other is actually always executed.

    You should return 0 too! :O
    In C++, it's is allowed to omit the return statement if you want to return "SUCCESS".

    Thank you all so much!

    Well, I tried ending with a curly bracket and sure enough, that was it!
    Thank you so much everyone, you saved me so much time!
