    do-while error

    When I try to compile my code, it says "do statement must have while in function main()
    ". I do have while. What is wrong?

    Here it is:
    Code:
    //before I include all the stuff and declare integers
    do
    {
    //my code
    }
    while (foe_health>0 && health>0);

    try putting the parentheses against the while not this far away, just a guess.

    SHOULD work tho.

    You are forgetting the error, do statement must have while in function main()

    Okay, but it is out of order.
    Code:

                                  #include <iostream.h>//4
                                  int main() //5
                                  {//6

    i think u may have

    do
    {
    { as opposed to

    do
    {


    but i may be wrong, hard to read that.

    That's the worst code EVER posted

    [edit]

    You're using 1 { too much at the beginning and 1 } to much at
    the end
