    Expression syntax error

    I have this error in my code. Can anyone figure out what's the problem ?

    Error E2188 workingArea2.cpp 57: Expression syntax in function CRectangle::check()

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    // declaring a class
    class CRectangle 
    {
    	public:
        
        	void set_values(int, string);
    		string check();
    	 	string check2();
    
    	private:
    	
    		int x,flag,counter;
    		string y;
    		size_t found,found1,found2,found3,found4,found5,found6,found7,found8,found9,found10,found11;			
    		
    };
    
    
    void CRectangle::set_values (int a, string b)
    {
      	x = a;
      	y = b;
    }
    
    // test three conditions
    string CRectangle::check()
    {
            found = y.find('4'); 
    	found1 = y.find('5'); 
    	found2 = y.find('8'); 
    	found3 = y.find('9'); 
    	found4 = y.find('A'); 
    	found5 = y.find('L'); 
    	found6 = y.find('P'); 
    	found7 = y.find('R');
    	found8 = y.find('T'); 
    	found9 = y.find('V'); 
    	found10 = y.find('W'); 
    	found11 = y.find('X');
    	flag =0;
    	counter=0;
    	if(x != 6)
    	{
    		cout << "false"<< endl;
    	}
    		
    	else if ((found==string::npos)||(found1==string::npos))
    				cout << "NOOO! please"<<endl;
    		  else if ((found2==string::npos)&&(found3==string::npos))
    			    	cout << "NOOO! please" << endl;
    				 else  					
    						while(counter<4)
    						{
    							if (found4==string::npos)||(found5==string::npos)||found6==string::npos)||(found7==string::npos)||found8==string::npos)||(found9==string::npos)||found10==string::npos)||(found11==string::npos))
    							{
    								flag=1;
    								cout << "good"<<endl;
    								break;
    							}
    							counter++;
    						}
    								  			
    										
    
    								
    	return  y;
    }
    
    
    int main () {
      	
    	int length;
    	string codeNumber;
            string mystr = codeNumber;
    	
    
    	
    	cout << "Insert a code of 6 characters:";
    	cin >> codeNumber;
    	length = codeNumber.length();
      
       	CRectangle rect;
       	rect.set_values (length,codeNumber);
            rect.check();
       
       	return 0;
    }

    It must be around here. if you look to the syntax of this line I am using the same in the previous conditions

    Code:
    							if (found4==string::npos)||(found5==string::npos)||found6==string::npos)||(found7==string::npos)||found8==string::npos)||(found9==string::npos)||found10==string::npos)||(found11==string::npos))

    Well you're missing a open paren.
    It is too clear and so it is hard to see.
    A dunce once searched for fire with a lighted lantern.
    Had he known what fire was,
    He could have cooked his rice much sooner.

    I hope your logic is right, this should be syntactic.
