rock, paper, scissors game

Trying to make a rock, paper, scissors game but I keep on getting these error messages:

You've some brackets mistakes, as you are ending your main() too before, check it please...

What bracket mistakes? I am not sure what you are talking about...

Now, try this...

Now I am getting this message error:

Now I am getting these error messages:
error C2065: 'end1' : undeclared identifier
error C2059: syntax error : ')'
fatal error C1075: end of file found before the left brace '{'

First error: You've used end1 somewhere instead it is endl
Second error: May be you are missing somewhere this brace ")"
Third error: Not possible with my provided code. I don't know what's your whole code.
Post your whole code here....

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

void you_win()
{
        cout<<"You Win! <<endl;
}

void you_lose()
{
        cout << You Lose! Sucka! << endl;
}

void you_tie()
{
        cout <<"It's a Tie! << endl;
}

int main()
{
    srand(time(NULL));
 cout << "Welcome to ~ Rock Paper Scissors ~!! I assume you know how to play,";
    cout << " so lets begin. You are playing against the computer. Type 1 for";
    cout << " rock, 2 for paper,and 3 for scissors\n";
 int userSel;
 cin >> userSel;
 cout <<endl;
 int compSel = (rand() % 3) + 1;
 if (userSel==1)
 {
  cout <<"You chose Rock." << endl;
 }
 else if (userSel==2)
 {
  cout <<"You chose Paper." << endl;
 }
 else if (userSel==3)
 {
  cout <<"You chose scissors." <<endl;
 }
 else
 {
  cout <<"Invalid choice." <<endl;
  return 1;
 }
 
 if (compSel==1)
 {
  cout <<"Computer chose rock." << endl;
 }
 else if (compSel==2)
 {
  cout <<"Computer chose paper." <<endl;
 }
 else if (compSel==3)
 {
  cout <<"Computer chose scissors." <<endl;
 }
 
cout <<endl;

 if (userSel==compSel)
 {
  you_tie();
 }
 if (userSel==1)
 {
  if (compSel=2)
  {
  you_lose();
  }
  else if (compSel=3)
  {
  you_win();
  }
 }
 else if (userSel==2)
 {
  if (compSel==1)
  {
  you_win();
  }
  else if (compSel==3)
  {
  you_lose();
  }
 }
 else if (userSel==3)
 {
  if (compSel==1)
  {
  you_lose();
  }
  else if (compSel==2)
  {
  you_win();
  )
 }
 
}

and these are the error messages:
warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'time_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data
error C2059: syntax error : ')'
fatal error C1075: end of file found before the left brace '{'

In this part:

Code:

---

else if (userSel==3)
    {
        if (compSel==1)
        {
            you_lose();
        }
        else if (compSel==2)
        {
            you_win();
        )
    }

---

Since that parens is there, that unbalances the curley braces and then you get the other error I think.

I fixed two of the error messages and now this is my code:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

void you_win()
{
        cout<<"You Win! <<endl;
}

void you_lose()
{
        cout << You Lose! Sucka! << endl;
}

void you_tie()
{
        cout <<"It's a Tie! << endl;
}

int main()
{
    srand((unsigned)time(0));
 cout << "Welcome to ~ Rock Paper Scissors ~!! I assume you know how to play,";
    cout << " so lets begin. You are playing against the computer. Type 1 for";
    cout << " rock, 2 for paper,and 3 for scissors\n";
 int userSel;
 cin >> userSel;
 cout <<endl;
 int compSel = (rand() % 3) + 1;
 if (userSel==1)
 {
  cout <<"You chose Rock." << endl;
 }
 else if (userSel==2)
 {
  cout <<"You chose Paper." << endl;
 }
 else if (userSel==3)
 {
  cout <<"You chose scissors." <<endl;
 }
 else
 {
  cout <<"Invalid choice." <<endl;
  return 1;
 }
 
 if (compSel==1)
 {
  cout <<"Computer chose rock." << endl;
 }
 else if (compSel==2)
 {
  cout <<"Computer chose paper." <<endl;
 }
 else if (compSel==3)
 {
  cout <<"Computer chose scissors." <<endl;
 }
 
cout <<endl;

 if (userSel==compSel)
 {
  you_tie();
 }
 if (userSel==1)
 {
  if (compSel=2)
  {
  you_lose();
  }
  else if (compSel=3)
  {
  you_win();
  }
 }
 else if (userSel==2)
 {
  if (compSel==1)
  {
  you_win();
  }
  else if (compSel==3)
  {
  you_lose();
  }
 }
 else if (userSel==3)
 {
  if (compSel==1)
  {
  you_lose();
  }
  else if (compSel==2)
  {
  you_win();
  }
 }
 
}

and these are the error messages:
error C2059: syntax error : '<<'
error C2001: newline in constant
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'

btw, i really appreciate you taking the time to help me with this program!

This is the final code:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

void you_win()
{
        cout<<"You Win!" <<endl;
}

void you_lose()

        cout << "You Lose! Sucka!" << endl;
}

void you_tie()
{
        cout <<"It's a Tie!" << endl;
}

int main()
{
    srand((unsigned)time(0));
 cout << "Welcome to ~ Rock Paper Scissors ~!! I assume you know how to play,";
    cout << " so lets begin. You are playing against the computer. Type 1 for";
    cout << " rock, 2 for paper,and 3 for scissors\n";
 int userSel;
 cin >> userSel;
 cout <<endl;
 int compSel = (rand() % 3) + 1;
 if (userSel==1)
 {
  cout <<"You chose Rock." << endl;
 }
 else if (userSel==2)
 {
  cout <<"You chose Paper." << endl;
 }
 else if (userSel==3)
 {
  cout <<"You chose scissors." <<endl;
 }
 else
 {
  cout <<"Invalid choice." <<endl;
  return 1;
 }
 
 if (compSel==1)
 {
  cout <<"Computer chose rock." << endl;
 }
 else if (compSel==2)
 {
  cout <<"Computer chose paper." <<endl;
 }
 else if (compSel==3)
 {
  cout <<"Computer chose scissors." <<endl;
 }
 
cout <<endl;

 if (userSel==compSel)
 {
  you_tie();
 }
 if (userSel==1)
 {
  if (compSel=2)
  {
  you_lose();
  }
  else if (compSel=3)
  {
  you_win();
  }
 }
 else if (userSel==2)
 {
  if (compSel==1)
  {
  you_win();
  }
  else if (compSel==3)
  {
  you_lose();
  }
 }
 else if (userSel==3)
 {
  if (compSel==1)
  {
  you_lose();
  }
  else if (compSel==2)
  {
  you_win();
  }
 }
 
}

everything works now..thanks!

Mrs Moss, meet my compiler digest:

Useful things about this digest include the line number, which can be helpful in determining where an error is. Now, my compiler also puts the problems you are having differently, but this is your input.

I suggest many things, including:
*carefully reviewing your syntax and surrounding all your strings with "
*carefully reviewing your syntax and reviewing the if statements, as a couple of the warnings suggest you used = instead of == in the condition
*carefully going over your syntax to address the other syntax issues
*and then try compiling again

@whiteflags: Why you disabled all your options in your profile? A general question.

If by options you mean things like private messaging, then it's because messaging me is a privilege and not a right. I decided to try keeping things public a while ago.

Okay also i am talking about requests... Anyways, good luck.
