Illegal Case

I'm having trouble figuring out why my code is giving me an error. Can anyone help?

Code:

---


#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<iomanip>
#include<string>


using namespace std;


int main ()
{
        string name, month, day, yr, loanAmount;
        string currentDateMonths, currentDateDays,currentDateYears;
        string totaldays;
        ifstream infile;
        infile.open("data3.txt", ifstream::in);
        infile >> currentDateMonths >> currentDateDays >> currentDateYears;
        while ( ! infile.eof ())
        {
                infile >> name >> month >> day >> yr >> loanAmount;
                cout << name << month << day << yr << loanAmount;
        }
       
       
       
       

        infile.close();
       
       
       
        return 0;
}


//Loan Length

int loanTime ()
{
        int month, day;
        int currentDateMonths, currentDateDays, totaldays;
        if (month == currentDateMonths)
                totaldays = (currentDateDays - day);
        else if (month == (currentDateDays - day))
                case (month == 1 || 3 || 5 || 7 || 8 || 10 || 12):
                        totaldays = (31 - day) + currentDateDays;
                case totaldays = (28 - day) + currentDateDays:
        else if (month == currentDateMonths - 2)
                case (month == 1 || 2):
                        totaldays = (59 - day) + currentDateDays;
        else if (month > currentDateMonths)
                case (month == 11):
                        totaldays = (61 - day) + currentDateDays;
                case (month == 12):
                        if (currentDateMonths == 1)
                                totaldays = (31 - day) + currentDateDays;
                        else if (currentDateMonths == 2)
                                totaldays = (62 - day) + currentDateDays;
        else if (month < currentDateMonths)
                case (month == 11 && currentDateMonths == 1):
                        totaldays = (61 - day) + currentDateDays;
                case (month == 11 && currentDateMonths >= 2):
                        totaldays = 60;
                case (month == 12 && currentDateMonths == 1):
                        totaldays = (31 - day) + currentDateDays;
                case (month == 12 && currentDateMonths == 2):
                        totaldays = (62 - day) + currentDateDays;
                case (month == 12 && currentDateMonths > 2):
                        totaldays = (60 - day) + currentDateDays;
        return totaldays;
}

If you can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

You've got a whole pile of illegal cases in your code. (case is only legal inside a switch.)

And even then a case label must be a compile-time integral constant.

While we're at it, this isn't Python. We like indentation, and we want to support your indentation efforts (you've done it really well, here, no joke), but you need to use curly braces and the like to actually create the blocks that your indentation is to represent.

using eof to control loop is bad idea. read FAQ
