unable to locate the errors (maybe trouble with arrays)
I'm writing a program that reads in data from an input file and then in the report module it is supposed to ask the user to type in the item it wants to look up and display all of the information stored for that item on the screen. I am receiving the following error messages:
c:\my documents\c++\project_2.cpp(120) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before ';'
c:\my documents\c++\project_2.cpp(120) : warning C4552: '<' : operator has no effect; expected operator with side-effect
c:\my documents\c++\project_2.cpp(120) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
c:\my documents\c++\project_2.cpp(121) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'
All of the errors are in the report module in the section that is blue.
Code:

You made it all so pretty, yet forgot the most important ones to make the code readable...
