Thread: Is it ok to have if else in my switch?

I'm trying to compile my code and i cannot see anything wrong with it as it compiled grand before i added the if and else statements to my program.

c:\docume~1\blackg~1\desktop\untitl~2.cpp: In function `int main()':
c:\docume~1\blackg~1\desktop\untitl~2.cpp:51: parse error before `{'
c:\docume~1\blackg~1\desktop\untitl~2.cpp:60: confused by earlier errors, bailing out

I would be gratefull if someone could help me out .
Thanks so much.
