    How to remove an error message from a p C++ program

    I am trying to debug a program and it keeps giving my a couple of error messages and I cannot figure out how to fix them. The error messages are expected primary-expression before "else" , expected `;' before "else"

    Code:
    if (code = 1)
    {
        cout << "$45,000" << endl;
    else if (code == 2 && code == 5)
        cout << "$33,000" << endl;
    else if (code == 3 || code == 4)
        cout << "$25,000" << endl;
    else 
        cout << "Entry error" << endl;
    }    //end ifs
    #1. Try removing the brackets I've highlighted.
    #2. Change that = to an ==.
    #3. That && needs to be a ||... a variable will never be both 2 and 5 at the same time.
