Thread: parse error on my program

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<ctime>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Welcome To Charlies Slot machine"<<endl;
cout<<"press 1 to play 2 not to play"<<endl;
int a;
cin>>a;
if (a==1)
{
cout<<"You have chosen to play"<<endl;
cout<<"1 to roll 2 not to roll"<<endl;
int b;
cin>>b;
if (b==1)
{
int c;
srand(time(0));
c=1+rand()%6;
cout<<"you rolled"<<c<<" ";
int d;
srand(time(0));
d=1+rand()%6;
cout<<d<<" ";
int e;
srand(time(0));
e=1+rand()%6;
cout<<e<<endl;
if (c==d==e)
{
cout<<"you won";
}
return 0;
}

That is a simple slot machine i made if you get 3 numbers the same you win it sais parse error at the end why is this?

You're missing a few closing braces...

that's doing your work for you, but okay:

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include<ctime>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   cout<<"Welcome To Charlies Slot machine"<<endl;
   cout<<"press 1 to play 2 not to play"<<endl;

   int a;
   cin>>a;

   if (a==1)
   {
      cout<<"You have chosen to play"<<endl;
      cout<<"1 to roll 2 not to roll"<<endl;

      int b;
      cin>>b;

      if (b==1)
     {
         int c;
         srand(time(0));
         c=1+rand()%6;
         cout<<"you rolled"<<c<<" ";
         int d;
         srand(time(0));
         d=1+rand()%6;
         cout<<d<<" ";
         int e;
         srand(time(0));
         e=1+rand()%6;
         cout<<e<<endl;
         if (c==d && d==e && c==e)
               {
                   cout<<"you won";
               }
      }   //second if
   }   //first if
   return 0;
}

that's why you should space your code correctly

your code is a mess anyway, so i'm going to rewrite it for you:

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<ctime>
#include <cstdlib>

using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

int main()
{
   int option,roll,nextroll;
   bool win=true;
   srand(clock());

   cout<<"Welcome To Charlies Slot machine"<<endl;
   cout<<"press 1 to play 2 not to play"<<endl;

   cin>>option;

   if (a==1)
   {
      cout<<"You have chosen to play"<<endl;
      cout<<"1 to roll 2 not to roll"<<endl;

      cin>>option;

      if (option==1)
     {
         roll=1+rand()%6;
         cout<<"you rolled"<<roll<<" ";

         nextroll=1+rand()%6;

         if(nextroll!=roll)
            win=false;

         roll=nextroll;
         cout<<roll<<" ";

         nextroll=1+rand()%6;

         if(nextroll!=roll)
            win=false;

         roll=nextroll;
         cout<<roll<<endl;

         if (win)
                   cout<<"you won";
      }
   }

   cout<<endl<<"Press any key to continue . . . ";
   cin.get();
   return 0;
}

even though that progam doesn't make much sense, because you would have to roll the dice the same number 3 times...

> can someone put them in ive been pulling my hair out tryin to figure out where they go to no avail
If you type the closing } ) ] " ' or whatever, and make sure the code is correctly indented before filling in the body, then the issue of missing closing whatever never arises.

Sure it's a few extra cursor movements, but it sure saves some headaches later on.

As does pressing the compile button every time you add a new brace pair (say a loop or a function stub or whatever).

If you're especially lazy, you can get an auto-completing text editor which can insert this stuff for you.
