if/break statement

Hi @all

I have an if statement in my prog. I want my program ends if my if statement returns false.

In order to end my prog. I used break but g++ compiler says I should put them in a loop or switch statement.

for example, can I write a statement like without putting them in a loop;

Code:

---

if (isalpha(chr1)
  cout <<ch1<<" is a char "<<endl;
else
{
    cout <<ch1<<" is not a char "<<" quitting. "<<endl;
    break;
}

thanks

I knew that I had to use loop or switch. but I didn't want to put a loop or switch. I wrote here because I was looking another way but I guess I have to use loop or switch..

Thank you

@mods
I got it. Please send my threat to garbage..

In a battle with the compiler. the compiler will most likely always win. ;)

Um... return 0;?
I'd think that'd be the right answer.

break can only be used to end a loop. Use exit() or return.

Code:

---

if (isalpha(chr1)
  cout <<ch1<<" is a char "<<endl;
else
{
    cout <<ch1<<" is not a char "<<" quitting. "<<endl;
    break;
}

It seems to me like you check chr1, but in your cout you write ch1. An accident?
