where is the error?Code:#include <stdio.h> int main() { int choice; do{ printf("1 = hi\n"); printf("2 = hello\n"); printf("3 = bye\n"); printf("4 = see you later\n"); printf("Enter your answer<1-4>:\n"); scanf("%d", &choice); switch(choice) { case 1: printf("Hi!"); break; case 2: printf("Hello"); break; case 3: printf("Bye"); break; case 4: printf("See you later!"); break; default: printf("Out bound"); } system("pause"); return 0; }
well you should start by saying the error that YOU get, reading posts is not a guessing game for forum members.
where is the 'while' from your loop or did you just forget to paste that in? is that your problem it does not compile?
switch looks ok apart from that

You also don't have a closing bracket on your main() function. You should put system("pause") and return 0 outside of the switch/case. Otherwise, the only way the program will end properly is if the user inputs an invalid value.
also this looks like c code. meow.
getting some type of backward compatible error too ?

Along with the missing bracket, you also fail to include the correct library for system, as well as don't have the latter part of the do-while loop.
Edit: On the other hand, for what you have so far, a do-while loop is pointless (that is unless you either set up a way to have the loop break, or place the system("pause") and return value outside of the loop).

As noted (obliquely) here, the bracket for main is not missing, its just been indented so it looks like the end of the while loop, its the while loop close brace that has not been typed/pasted, although this is relative to how you look at it i supposerelyt_123: You've suffered at the hands of poor indentation.

Perhaps it's not there in the code, and part of the reason he's getting errors. I'm simply making a logical assumption, as all of the brackets are definitely not there.
Okay to clear this up. There is a missing brace.
main, do, and switch are the lines the open braces appear on, and there are only two closing braces.
However, the pause and the return are not inside the switch statement.
Again, the cause of the problem stems directly from incorrect indentation. I can never understand why some people don't use proper indentation right from the get go. It takes all of what 5 seconds to work out that e.g. braces should line up vertically, the first time you see any code from a tutorial or book.
