    Syntax error, please help.

    I started out with 15 errors and worked them all out except for this one.
    "error C2144: syntax error : 'int' should be preceded by ';'"

    it points to my int main ()

    I tried look for any missing ";" but cant find any.

    Would any one mind taking a look?
    It a program filling a random number in all the array locations and asking user to enter an integer (between 0 and 9) and we are supposed to print score.

    Code:
    // pointer to arrays
    
    #include <iostream>
    #include <ctime>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    void printarray ()
    
    int main ( )
    {
       int score [10];
       int *ptr;
       int userint = 0;
    
      ptr = &score[0]; //ptr poinst to the integer array of "score"
    
      srand(time(NULL)); ////makes use of the computer's internal clock to control the choice of the seed. 
    
    //for loop will loop filing with random numers between 0 and 50 
      for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
      {
    	*ptr = rand()%50;
    	++ptr;
      }
    
    	cout << "Enter a number between 0 and 9: " ;
    	cin >> userint;
    	//if else stament determines if use data is between 0 and 9
    	if (userint >= 0 && userint <= 9)
    		cout << score[userint] << endl;
    	else if (userint > 10 )
    		cout <<"You must enter a number between 0 and 9, Please try again." << endl;
    
      system ("pause");  
      return 0;
    
    }

    Yeah when it gives an error like that and the line it's on looks good always check the line before it, it is usually a semicolon or parenthesis error.
